Haaland helped City progress to the quarter-final round of the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League after they beat Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig 7-0 on Tuesday night, ending the legs with an 8-1 aggregate.
In the process, Haaland had a five-star performance which saw the 22-year-old net a staggering five goals, a feat only two players other have done before. Haaland got goal number five in the 57th minute, which means he now holds the record for the fastest five-goal haul scored by a single player in the UCL.
Both teams from Milan also progress to the quarter-finals with Inter Milan beating Porto and AC Milan getting past Tottenham Hotspur. On Wednesday night, a mouth-watering clash takes place between Real Madrid and Liverpool, who sit with a 5-2 deficit to overcome. "If anyone can overcome a 5-2 aggregate, it's Liverpool," says Kurt Buckerfield when discussing the matter. Los Blancos will be at home which makes this task even trickier for the team from Merseyside and the bookies reckon this result is in favour of the home team.
