John Stones believes Erling Haaland would thrive off the pressure of being expected to score the number of goals Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo used to after the Manchester City striker became only the third player ever to score five times in a Champions League.
Haaland joined Messi and Luiz Adriano in a select band by finding the net five times in City’s 7-0 win over RB Leipzig on Tuesday, taking him to a club record 39 goals in a season with up to 19 matches more remaining.
