Erling Haaland Sets Another UCL Record As Manchester City Crush Dortmund 4-1

Erling Haaland Has Done It Again! The Manchester City goal machine continues to make the UEFA Champions League his personal playground — this time, setting yet another record that places him above some of football’s all-time greats.

During City’s 4-1 demolition of Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday night, Haaland found the net against his former club to become the first player ever to score in five consecutive Champions League matches for three different clubs.

The Norwegian striker first achieved this rare streak with Red Bull Salzburg (2019/20), repeated it with Borussia Dortmund (2020/21), and has now done it once more with Manchester City (2024/25).

A Night Of Records And Ruthlessness

City were in full control from start to finish. Phil Foden stole the show with a brilliant brace, scoring twice on either side of Haaland’s strike. Rayan Cherki added a classy fourth, sealing a comfortable victory for Pep Guardiola’s side.

For Haaland, it was business as usual — his 18th goal in just 14 matches this season, keeping him well on pace to replicate his jaw-dropping debut campaign in England, where he bagged 52 goals in 53 games.

Haaland’s Consistency Is Beyond Ordinary

What makes Haaland’s achievement special isn’t just the goals — it’s the consistency across clubs and leagues. To deliver at this level for Salzburg, Dortmund, and now City shows a level of adaptability and excellence rarely seen in football.

Even legends like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi never managed this particular feat — proof that Haaland isn’t just chasing records, he’s rewriting them.

City’s Champions League Ambition Grows Stronger

With this win, Manchester City continue to flex their European dominance. Guardiola’s men look sharper, hungrier, and even more determined to retain their UCL crown. And with Haaland in this kind of form, few teams in Europe can stop them.
