Haaland breaks the Champions League record and equals Messi and Luiz Adriano’s record Champions League

Haaland, the Argentine star and former Brazilian striker of Palmeiras and Internacional, are the only ones to score five goals in the same Champions League match. No other player in history has scored more goals in a championship game.

Messi achieved the feat in Barcelona’s 7-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen in 2012. Luis Adriano scored five goals in Shakhtar Donetsk’s 7-0 win over BATE Borisov in 2014, in a group stage match.

Haaland could surpass that figure, but he was replaced by Pep Guardiola in the 17th minute of the second half. However, the former Borussia Dortmund needed less time to score his five goals. Unlike the Brazilian, the Norwegian and Argentine player set the mark in the knockout match.

At 22, Haaland has scored 33 goals in 25 Champions League appearances. No other player has reached 30 goals so quickly in the tournament. In just his fourth participation in the competition, the Norwegian has passed some big names in the historic artillery, such as Kaká.

Now, Neymar, with 43 goals, is the only Brazilian to have scored more goals than the Norwegian in the Champions League. Haaland overtook Kaka, who finished his career with 30. The City striker also left behind Eto’o, Griezmann, Rooney and Robben.

Haaland, however, is the player who needs the fewest minutes to score in Champions history: just over 56.
