Erling Haaland has added another set of goal-scoring records to his impressive resume, prompting Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola to humorously express on Tuesday that he was getting accustomed to fielding questions about his prolific striker.
In the 54th minute of the match against RB Leipzig, the 23-year-old achieved the feat of being the fastest player to score 40 goals in the Champions League, contributing to City’s 3-2 comeback victory and securing the top spot in Group G with one matchday still to go.
Just three days prior, Haaland had already made headlines by becoming the quickest player to reach 50 Premier League goals during a 1-1 draw with Liverpool.
“Again? I have to tell you again?” Guardiola laughed, when asked for comment. “A thousand million times, I’m really impressed. They won today. Another record. Congratulations. He’s a fantastic player. I tell you many times, we’re really, really pleased.
“We love him, not just for the goals he scores, but for many, many other things.“
