Field Goal! Haaland Surpasses Aguero to Become Manchester City’s All-Time Top Scorer in the Champions League

In the early hours of October 2, in the second round of the 2024/25 season Champions League group stage matches, Manchester City defeated the Slovakian team, Slovan Bratislava, with a convincing score of 4-0. Forward Erling Haaland not only contributed significantly to his team’s victory but also set a new and remarkable goal-scoring milestone.

Despite playing away from home, Manchester City quickly took control of the game’s rhythm. Just eight minutes into the match, Gundogan scored the opening goal for Manchester City. Following this, Foden, Haaland, and James McAtee each added to their tally, helping the team secure an easy 4-0 win. This was Manchester City’s first victory in the Champions League this season, bringing their total points to four after two rounds.

Through his goals in this match, Haaland not only ended his two-game goal drought but also left an indelible mark on Manchester City’s history. The Norwegian forward has now scored 42 goals in 41 Champions League appearances, averaging over one goal per game, surpassing legendary player Aguero to become Manchester City’s top scorer in the Champions League.

On the all-time Champions League goal-scoring list, Haaland has equaled Del Piero’s record, with his next target being Neymar’s 43 goals.

Moreover, with this victory in Slovakia, Manchester City has matched Manchester United’s unbeaten record of 25 games in the Champions League. During this unbeaten streak, Manchester City has achieved an impressive record of 17 wins and 8 draws. Additionally, this is the tenth unbeaten match for Guardiola’s Manchester City since the start of the 2024/25 season, including six victories.

After facing some recent challenges, Manchester City’s resounding victory in this match has restored their confidence. On Saturday, October 5, Manchester City will return to domestic competition to face Premier League rivals Fulham. Fans are looking forward to Haaland and his teammates continuing their good form and achieving more successes in various competitions.
