Erling Haaland’s remarkable performance at the start of the current Premier League season is on track to break one of Cristiano Ronaldo’s remarkable goal-scoring records. The Norwegian striker, who has claimed the Premier League’s golden boot award for the last two seasons, has kicked off Man City’s new season in exceptional form by scoring nine goals in just four matches. His impressive start has led to City teammates having to autograph two match balls after Haaland achieved consecutive hat-tricks in the Premier League, earning praise from manager Pep Guardiola as they prepare for the Champions League. As City faces Inter Milan in their upcoming Champions League match, Haaland has the opportunity to surpass one of Ronaldo’s impressive records by scoring in the game. Ronaldo, a renowned player from Manchester United and Real Madrid, notably reached 100 goals in just 105 games for Real Madrid before recently hitting his 900th and 901st career goals during the international break with Portugal.

Haaland has had an incredible beginning to the current Premier League season, scoring nine goals in a mere four matches.
Ronaldo had scored 100 goals for Real Madrid in just 105 appearances, while Haaland is currently at 99 City goals after 103 matches, leaving him with one game to surpass Ronaldo’s mark. If Haaland manages to score against Simone Inzaghi’s team, he will break Ronaldo’s record achieved during his time at Real Madrid. However, if the City superstar fails to score, he could equal Ronaldo’s record in the upcoming game against title rivals Arsenal. Guardiola, the City manager, praised Haaland’s remarkable goal-scoring ability and predicted that he will continue his impressive form. Guardiola expressed his surprise at Haaland’s scoring streak by highlighting his own modest scoring record as a professional player. He stated that if Haaland continues to score at the same rate in the next 100 games, he would be more than satisfied.
The Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has commended Haaland for his impressive goal-scoring abilities. Guardiola believes that the young striker will continue to improve with more playing time. Haaland, who faced muscular issues when he arrived from Dortmund, now feels better and is performing well in games. Guardiola acknowledges that maintaining this level of performance in the long run can be challenging due to the frequency of matches, but he remains optimistic about Haaland’s progress. Guardiola stated, “I don’t expect him to score multiple goals in every game, but for now, he is on a good streak.”
