Three things in life are certain: death, taxes, and Erling Braut Haaland scoring goals.
The 20-year-old striking sensation broke yet another goal scoring record on Tuesday night, becoming the fastest player to reach 15 Champions League goals as Borussia Dortmund swept aside Club Bruges 3-0.
Haaland scored twice on the night to reach the landmark in just 12 games – seven fewer than previous record holders Ruud van Nistelrooy and Roberto Soldado.
The milestone comes days after the Norwegian hitman scored four times in Dortmund’s 5-2 win over Hertha Berlin, which saw him break a 60-year-old Bundesliga record for the most goals (23) scored after 22 appearances in the league.
Haaland’s incredible week is just the latest in what has been a meteoric rise to stardom for the Dortmund star, which has seen him break records at almost every turn.
Here are the craziest stats from his whirlwind career so far:
After his latest record breaking performance, Haaland’s Dortmund teammate Jadon Sancho, who scored the team’s other goal against Bruges, said he loved playing alongside the striker.
“Erling is a fantastic player,” he said.
“It’s fun to create chances for him. I’m delighted to be playing alongside him. He works every day on and off the pitch.”
