Overview
- Manchester City drew 2-2 at Monaco after Eric Dier converted a late penalty given for Nico González’s high boot, despite Erling Haaland scoring twice.
- Haaland’s Champions League tally stands at 52 goals in 50 appearances, a rate that brings Messi’s 60-in-80 benchmark into range.
- He became the fastest to 50 Champions League goals last month, reaching the mark in 49 games and eclipsing Ruud van Nistelrooy’s 62.
- Opta highlighted that Haaland’s 52 goals in his first 50 Champions League games exceed the opening 50-game totals of nine clubs in the competition.
- Haaland has 17 goals in 10 matches for club and country this season and said the draw “isn’t good enough” after City let the lead slip.
