Erling Haaland tipped to break Cristiano Ronaldo's coveted record - "going that way"

Erling Haaland Cristiano Ronaldo John Stones Lionel Messi Kevin De Bruyne UEFA Champions League the Champions League Manchester City

Erling Haaland can join Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in becoming one of the most prolific scorers in the Champions League.

Haaland took his total to 33 goals from just 25 Champions League games after scoring five times in Manchester City's 7-0 demolition of RB Leipzig. Norway striker Haaland became City’s all-time leading scorer for a single season, reaching 39 goals to break the record held by Tommy Johnson, which had stood for 94 years.

Haaland’s City team-mate John Stones reckons the forward can go on to produce similar numbers to Ronaldo and Messi, who are out in front on their own with 140 and 129 goals respectively in Europe’s elite club competition.
