Erling Haaland on the Verge of Shattering Cristiano Ronaldo’s Record
Erling Haaland is getting close to making history in the world of football, and his latest double against Brentford has brought us one step closer to his goal. The Norwegian star is just one game away from breaking Cristiano Ronaldo’s record for the fewest games needed to reach 100 goals for a single club.
Haaland, who joined Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund in June 2022, is currently sitting on 99 goals in just 103 appearances. Ronaldo, of course, set the previous record while playing for Real Madrid, scoring his 100th goal for the club in 105 games.
If Haaland plays in City’s upcoming Champions League game against Inter, he will have the perfect opportunity to break the record. He could also wait until his next Premier League game, which is expected to be against Arsenal, but playing in the Champions League will give him more time to prepare and reflect on his achievement.
Not only is Haaland dominating the pitch, but he’s also setting new standards in the Premier League. His nine goals in the first four games of the season broke Wayne Rooney’s record of eight goals set in 2011.
Here’s a look at the current top five for fewest games to 100 goals for a single club:
| Player | Games | Club |
|---|---|---|
| Cristiano Ronaldo | 105 | Real Madrid |
| Erling Haaland | 103 | Manchester City |
| Zlatan Ibrahimovic | 124 | PSG |
| Robert Lewandowski | 136 | Bayern Munich |
| Sergio Aguero | 158 | Manchester City |
Haaland’s achievement is a testament to his hard work and dedication. He’s proved himself to be one of the most clinical finishers in the game, with a combination of speed, power, and precision. As City fans, it’s an exciting time to be a part of their journey.
