Erling Haaland was one of the great figures of Manchester City in their thrashing of Sparta Prague (5-0). The 'skyblue' team crushed those led by Lars Friis in a match in which the Norwegian celebrated a double and dazzled everyone with a goal of anthology.
The scorer tried to knock down Peter Vindahl's goal for almost an hour of play, but the goal eluded him. However, at 58' Savinho reached the goal line and hung the ball into the area. Haaland, in an acrobatic movement only reachable by a gifted player, jumped, turned and, with his back to the goal, stuck out his heel to hit the ball, which bounced on the ground and overtook the Danish goalkeeper.
A double to continue breaking records
With the double against the Czechs, the Leeds player reached 44 goals in the Champions League, equalling Drogba's record in the competition. In addition, he surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi by having achieved this figure in just 42 games, since 'CR7' needed 86 matches to reach this mark and the Argentine achieved it in 63 matches.
