LThe 2022-23 Champions League is the first that Cristiano Ronaldo hasn’t played … for 19 years! The historic top scorer of the tournament with 140 goals played at least in the group stage from 2003-2004. This course will lose an edition in which Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Junior they started flexing their muscles.
Manchester City’s 22-year-old Norwegian striker and Paris Saint-Germain’s 23-year-old Frenchman both started with two goals. Seville (0-4) Y Juve (2-1). And the 22-year-old Brazilian has unlocked Real Madrid al Celta (0-3). The new and happy 20 years of the Champions continue this season with Haaland, Mbappé and Vinicius. A new ‘era’ begins … even if Benzema, Lewandowski, Messi … will continue to wreak havoc. Old rockers never die. They continue on stage.
Haaland’s “hunger”
Sevilla have nightmares with Erling. He has faced Sevilla three times in the Champions League (two with Dortmund and once with City) and has celebrated twice in each duel. At Pizjun, Haaland made his Champions League debut with City and ‘moj’ as in his debut with RB Salzburg (‘hat-trick’ against Genk) and with Dortmund (brace against PSG) in UCL. Two goals, one per set, with which he reached 25 in 20 games in the top continental competition.
