Sensational Five-Goal Haul Secures Top Spot
Etihad Stadium, Manchester – November 28, 2023
In an unforgettable display of attacking brilliance, Erling Haaland etched his name into the record books on Tuesday night as Manchester City thrashed RB Leipzig 7-0 to secure their place in the Champions League quarter-finals.
The Norwegian striker became the first player in Champions League history to score five goals in a single game as City ruthlessly dispatched the German outfit. Haaland's incredible tally brought his season's goal count to 39, breaking the club record previously held by Tommy Johnson since 1929.
City's dominance was evident from the outset, with Kevin De Bruyne opening the scoring in the 9th minute. However, it was Haaland who stole the show, netting his first goal in the 14th minute and adding four more in the 18th, 22nd, 38th, and 67th minutes.
City's victory secures top spot in Group A, guaranteeing them a favorable draw in the next round. The Etihad Stadium crowd erupted in thunderous applause as the team celebrated their remarkable achievement.
