Erling Haaland is close to Cristiano Ronaldo s record in the Champions League, how many games are left?

The victory over Manchester City against Dortmund ended 4-1, not just a matter of three points, but also setting a new historical record for Erling Haaland.

The forward from Norway scored again in the game, breaking the record of the top ten scorers in the history of the Champions League.

Haaland's performance in the Champions League continues to show stability. At the age of 25, his achievement shows he has the potential to break records considered unattainable.

Gornia's goal for Dortmund further cemented his reputation as a penalty area hunter.

In fact, the current highest record in the game is still held by Cristiano Ronaldo. However, with the current situation, the debate is starting to turn towards Haaland's potential future as the new record holder.

Haaland enters the top ten scorers in the Champions League

Haaland's goal against Dortmund brought his total number of goals in the Champions League to 54. This result puts him in tenth place in history, just behind Thomas Müller. This achievement is particularly special considering his age and the number of games he has played.

Ronaldo still tops the list with 141 goals, followed by Messi with 129 goals. Both set the record over long periods of time and impressive consistency. However, things are different now as Ronaldo is no longer competing in European competitions.

This situation provides a huge opportunity for Haaland to continue to get closer. Since Manchester City regularly competes in the Champions League, there is always room for more goals.

The battle calculation required by Haaland

Currently, Haaland scores an average of 1.038 goals per game in the Champions League. Based on this data, he is expected to need a total of 137 games to reach 142 goals. This means he needs to play 85 more games to break Ronaldo's record.

This calculation depends on his ability to remain productive. However, given his performance and age, the chance is realistic. He's still in the prime of his career and playing for a team with a strong offensive line behind him.

If Haaland stays consistent, Ronaldo's record, long thought to be unattainable, is now starting to look within reach.
