Erling Haaland acknowledges where he can improve his game
The Norwegian striker Erling Haaland recorded a career-high five goals on the night, setting various records.
Erling Haaland, whose five goals in Tuesday’s 7-0 win over Leipzig propelled Pep Guardiola’s team into the quarterfinals, stated that Manchester City acquired him with the intention of assisting them in winning the Champions League for the first time.
Erling Haaland is aware that Guardiola signed the 22-year-old last summer in a bid to compete for a first victory in Europe’s top club competition. His 39 goals at Etihad Stadium set a City team record.
Haaland’s last team, Borussia Dortmund, had him score 86 goals in 89 games, and he never doubted that pace would continue.
The Norwegian had a chance to score in the 22nd minute when Haaland easily converted a City penalty after a VAR review for a handball by Benjamin Henrichs.
He scored within a minute when he turned Kevin De Bruyne’s effort around the crossbar and into the goal. The usual suspect, the City’s No. After Janis Blaswich saved a header from Ruben Dias, 9, once more deposited the ball in the net.
Haaland scored 30 goals in just 25 games, faster than anyone else in the competition’s history. He is, in fact, the youngest player to accomplish this feat at the age of 22 years and 236 days.

Haaland told CBS Golazo that the team can do a lot better and that he can try to improve himself in a few areas, as he said:
“This team has so much potential, and I believe we still have a lot of room for improvement in the way we play the game.” Although it may seem obvious, I could have scored more goals. I missed numerous opportunities. However, as a striker, you want chances to come, so that’s the most important thing.
