Norwegian striker Erling Haaland led Manchester City to a 0-2 victory over Porto at the Estádio do Dragão on the opening matchday of the Champions League. The forward scored a brilliant brace, heading in Enzo Fernández’s cross and finishing off a low delivery from Rayan Aït-Nouri.

Seventh-highest scorer in the competition’s history

According to Squawka, Haaland reached 59 goals in just 59 matches, surpassing Thomas Müller (57) to climb to seventh place among the top scorers in the continental tournament.
