Erling Haaland Extends Sensational Scoring Streak to Reach Champions League Milestone

Erling Haaland has moved into sole possession of ninth place on the Champions League all-time scorers list, surpassing Thierry Henry with his recent performance.

In Manchester City's 2-2 draw against Monaco, Haaland scored a brace, extending his scoring streak to eight matches for both club and country. He achieved this with just 17 touches, netting a half-volley and a clinical header.

At 25 years old, Haaland has now scored 52 goals in the Champions League, reaching the half-century mark in only 50 games on Europe's biggest stage.

This feat is particularly impressive as he accomplished it in 62 fewer appearances than Thierry Henry, highlighting his efficiency and prolific scoring ability.
