Five-goal Haaland makes history in 7-0 Man City win over RB Leipzig
Erling Haaland made history with five goals, including a first-half hat trick, to send Manchester City into the quarterfinals in emphatic fashion with a 7-0 win over RB Leipzig at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday to win 8-1 on aggregate.
Haaland was at his superhuman best as he joined Lionel Messi as the only player to score five times in a Champions League knockout stage game, and one of only three players (along with Luiz Adriano) to score five in any Champions League match.
His record-equaling haul also saw the Norwegian marksman move onto 39 goals for the season to break City’s single-season scoring record previously set by Tommy Johnson in 1928-29. Iikay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne got the other goals for City.
In the other match, Inter Milan reached the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time in more than a decade after surviving a late barrage of pressure at Porto to escape with a 0-0 draw which took them through 1-0 on aggregate.
