Norwegian striker Erling Haaland continues to demonstrate with facts that he is one of the best players of recent times and his good start to the 2024-25 season defending the colors of Manchester City in the English Premier League, establishes him as a man who has now stood firm to seek to equal and break records in football at a world level.
Haaland once again looked impressive in the most recent Premier League matchday where he managed to score a hat trick against West Ham United during the city team’s visit to the Olympic Stadium in London, and managed to celebrate and shout the goal in the 10th, 30th and 83rd minutes.
Getting closer to 100 goals
With these 3 new goals in his favor, Haaland managed to reaching a total of 97 with the City club.
With this result, he is only 3 goals away more than able to reach what would be one hundred goals defending the colors of the same team, and with that he would be on the way to reaching the mark currently held by the Portuguese striker and living legend who plays for Al Nassr of Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Once again Cristiano makes a difference
The so-called CR7 did it at the time during his time at the Real Madrid of Spain in a total of 105 matches played, being the player who most quickly achieved 100 goals with an institution.
At the moment Haaland has 97 goals in a total of 102 gamesso, taking out the calculator, ‘El Vikingo’ needs to score 3 more goals in the next two City matches, if he wants to break the record established by ‘El Bicho’.
Haaland has 97 goals in 102 games so he needs score three goals in the next two matches if he wants to break the record. It should be remembered that Cristiano Ronaldo has his name inscribed a total of two times on this list of goalscorers, achieving it with the Merengues and Juventus.
Guardiola heaps praise on Haaland
His coach, Pep Guardiola, argued that beyond the goals It is more important to highlight all the positive things that he brings to the pitch and how Haaland’s contribution helps to achieve victories: “Today he scored three goals, but he didn’t lose a single ball. Today is one of the games in which he played the best in all situations. When he watches the games and sees what we want to do, he understands it because he is a smart guy. He wants to score goals,” said the Spanish coach, who also added that there is no one who can stop his attacker.
