Guardiola: ‘Haaland break record again?’

Another 2 goals from Erling Haaland, and head coach of the Sky Blues Pep Guardiola, needed to answer questions about his striker’s another record.

The Norway international became the fastest to net 40 UCL goals with his strike in the 54^th minute that secured the reigning Champions League champions’ 3-2 comeback triumph against RB Leipzig, securing them 1^st place in Group G before they even played their last game from the group stage.

A few days ago, Erling had become the fastest to score 50 EPL goals in a 1-1 draw with the Reds.

“Again? I have to tell you again?” Pep laughed when reporters asked him about Haaland’s record. “How can I say it right? I’m impressed. My team triumphed today—another record. Everything is fantastic. Erling is a fantastic player. I tell you many times, he impresses me every day.

“Manchester City loves him, not just for the goals he scores, but for many other reasons.”
