However, Haaland needed almost half the time to reach this landmark.

Yesterday’s goal was Haaland’s 145th, a figure he achieved in just 167 matches, while it took Ronaldo a staggering 346 games to reach the same total.

Haaland’s current form is truly impressive. This season alone, he’s netted 21 goals in 21 matches and provided 3 assists.

Additionally, yesterday’s strike against Real was Haaland’s 51st goal in 50 Champions League appearances.

The match itself ended with a 2-1 victory for Manchester City.
