Haaland makes history, closes the gap in the UCL top scorers ranking | OneFootball

Haaland once again made his mark in the league phase of the 2025-2026 Champions League. The Norwegian scored one of the goals in Manchester City's 4-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund, his former club, this Wednesday (5).

He became the first player in history to score in five consecutive Champions League games for three different clubs: RB Salzburg (2019/20), Borussia Dortmund (2020/21), and now, Manchester City (2025/26).

Besides the new record, the striker climbed another step among the top scorers in the history of the tournament. He now has 54 goals in 52 games. He remains in ninth place, but only two behind Van Nistelrooy, who has 56.

He is the only one with more than one goal per match.

The top-10 Champions League scorers are led by Cristiano Ronaldo (140 goals), followed by Messi (129) and Lewandowski (105).

Haaland, at just 25 years old, continues at a fast pace to climb even higher on this list.
