Pep Guardiola said he gave no thought to Erling Haaland's chances of scoring a double hat-trick in Manchester City's huge win over RB Leipzig, when he substituted the striker on five goals.
City were ruthless in a 7-0 second-leg win that saw them coast into the quarter-finals after a tense first leg. Haaland's first-half hat-trick was followed up by a second-half brace, becoming just the third man to score five in a single Champions League game. His haul takes him to 33 Champions League goals, reaching 30 in the quickest amount of games from any player in history, and as the youngest player to reach the landmark.
Not only that, but Haaland's 39 for the season saw him beat the 94-year record for goals scored for City in a single season, beating Tommy Johnson's 39 in 1928/29.
