Erling Haaland has been enjoying a spectacular 2025-26 season, establishing several historic milestones that continue to cement his status as one of football’s most prolific strikers.
Here are the most significant recent accomplishments:
Historic Champions League Achievement (November 5th, 2025)
Haaland set a remarkable Champions League record during Manchester City’s match against his former club, Borussia Dortmund, becoming the first player to score in five consecutive Champions League games for three different clubs. He previously achieved this feat with Red Bull Salzburg during the 2019-20 campaign and with Borussia Dortmund in the 2020-21 season.
This unique accomplishment distinguishes him from legends like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in the competition’s history.
Additionally, Haaland became the fastest player to reach 50 Champions League goals, achieving the milestone in just 49 matches, surpassing the previous record by a significant margin.
Premier League Dominance
The Norwegian striker is enjoying a phenomenal domestic campaign. Haaland leads the EPL scoring charts with 13 goals in just 10 games so far this season, having been kept scoreless only in defeats to Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa.
He is currently involved in 65% of Manchester City’s goals and is on pace to score approximately 52 Premier League goals this season, which would shatter his own single-season record of 36 goals in 2022-23.
Haaland has now surpassed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to become the highest-scoring Norwegian in Premier League history with 96 goals in 105 appearances. He stands just two goals away from reaching 100 Premier League goals, positioning himself to become the fastest player ever to achieve this landmark.
Additional Notable Records and Overall Form
On August 31st, 2025, Haaland became the player with the most goals in his first 100 Premier League matches with 88 goals, surpassing Alan Shearer’s previous record of 79 goals.
Earlier in March 2025, he also became the fastest player to reach 100 goal involvements in the Premier League, achieving this in just 94 matches with 84 goals and 16 assists, breaking Shearer’s long-standing record by 6 games.
Haaland has scored 17 goals in 13 matches for Manchester City during the 2025-26 campaign across all competitions. Despite such lofty achievements, Haaland remains characteristically humble, stating simply that he is “just Erling, a Norwegian guy scoring goals.”
At just 25 years old, Haaland continues to rewrite football history at an unprecedented pace, establishing himself as one of the most dominant strikers in the modern game.
