Erling Haaland equals Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo’s all-time record | OneFootball

Manchester City star Erling Haaland has on Tuesday secured for himself a piece of goalscoring history.

This comes after the Norwegian kept alive nothing short of a remarkable stretch of form in front of goal.

Man City are currently locked in action on the continent, in a Champions League meeting with Spanish outfit Villarreal.

The aforementioned Erling Haaland, as expected, was afforded a starting berth in the clash, from his customary berth at centre-forward.

And it didn’t take the former Borussia Dortmund man at all long to make his impact felt…

With 17 minutes on the clock, Haaland opened the scoring, to prolong a frankly incredible recent goalscoring run.

All told, the 25-year-old has now found the net in each of his last 12 appearances across all competitions.

This marks a record-equalling streak, with Haaland having levelled Real Madrid icon Cristiano Ronaldo in the history books.

*Note* – Lionel Messi at one point famously scored in 21 matches on the bounce, but this streak was restricted to La Liga.
