Erling Haaland has the chance to surpass a significant record established by Cristiano Ronaldo if he scores for Manchester City in their Champions League opener this week.
Over the weekend, Haaland continued his exceptional performance by scoring two goals in City’s 2-1 victory over Brentford, thereby maintaining Pep Guardiola’s unblemished start to the season.
The 23-year-old failed to capitalise on the opportunity to become the first Premier League player to score three consecutive hat-tricks in a succession against Brentford at the Etihad.
Nevertheless, the Norwegian giant achieved a new record by scoring nine goals in the first four league matches of a season, as reported by CNN.
Ronaldo’s record is approaching Haaland’s reach
Erling Haaland appears to be presented with a new opportunity to surpass records with each match, and Wednesday’s match against Inter Milan is no exception.
The two-time Premier League Golden Boot recipient is on the brink of scoring his 100th goal for Manchester City, having scored 99 goals in a mere 103 appearances.
According to Diario AS, Haaland has the potential to surpass Ronaldo, who achieved 100 goals for Real Madrid after 105 games.
Haaland will still have the opportunity to equal Ronaldo’s record of 105 games if he fails to score in the forthcoming match. However, Ronaldo may be observing from Saudi Arabia with apprehension, given his current form.
If not, he has the opportunity to equal the record when Arsenal visits the Etihad Stadium to play Manchester City on Sunday.
Ronaldo predicts that Haaland will receive the Ballon d’Or.
Ronaldo, who has received five Golden Ball awards, selected Haaland and a number of other promising players in Europe.
