In the Champions League match, Erling Haaland repeated the record of Shakhtar best striker
Haaland, Messi and Adriano scored 5 goals in one Champions League match
Manchester City's Norwegian striker Erling Haaland became only the third player in the history of the Champions League to score five goals in a single match. In addition, the 22-year-old striker became the youngest player to score 30 goals in the Champions League.
Haaland joined Barcelona legend Lionel Messi and Shakhtar Donetsk's top scorer Luis Adriano, who also scored five times in the same game. The Argentine world champion did it in a match against Bayer Leverkusen in the round of 16 of the 2011/2012 draw, while the Brazilian upset the Belarusian BATE goalkeeper five times in the 2014 group stage.
At the same time, Messi scored all his goals from the spot, and Adriano twice converted penalties. Holland scored one goal from the 11-metre spot. At the same time, the former Shakhtar player remains the only one to score five times in his team's away match.
It is worth noting that thanks to the Norwegian's penta-trick, Manchester City defeated German side Leipzig at home and reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Before the round of 16, the English were considered the main contenders to win the tournament.
As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, the European Football Union (UEFA) may suspend Barcelona from European Cup tournaments if the club is found guilty of a corruption scandal.
