Haaland can top Ronaldo's 140-goal mark: Guardiola
The Straits Times
|September 20, 2025
Manchester City's Erling Haaland shattered another scoring record in their 2-0 Champions League victory over visitors Napoli on Sept 18, and manager Pep Guardiola believes his talented striker might one day be the best player in Europe.
-
The 25-year-old Norwegian became the quickest player in Champions League history to hit 50 goals in what was his 49th appearance in Europe's elite competition when he cleverly headed home in the 56th minute.
He smashed the record held by former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, who reached 50 goals in 62 games.
"The number speaks for itself," Guardiola said. "He's alongside, in terms of goals, with van Nistelrooy, (Robert) Lewandowski, but especially with the two monsters Cristiano (Ronaldo) and (Lionel) Messi over 15, 20 years. Erling is there. In terms of goals, it's unbelievable."
Ronaldo is the all-time Champions League top scorer with 140 goals. Asked if Haaland - given his numbers at such a young age - could one day top that mark, the City boss did not hesitate.
