Alien Haaland, sent City to the “8” with five goals against Leipzig!

What did the man (?) do! Incredible performance by Erling Haalandwho set up her… party Manchester City on her Leipzig!

The “citizens” were crushed 7-0 the “bulls” and with a total score of 8-1, passed to the “8” of the Champions League!

How was the 22-year-old forward involved in all this? With five goals! Harvest that elevated him to first place among scorers of this year’s competition (leaving Salah in 2nd place with eight), while he became youngest to reach 30 goals in the organization and 3rd to score five stars (after Messi with Barcelona and Luis Adriano with Shakhtar).

The match:

City’s start to the match was strong. Pep Guardiola’s team took the initiative from the start and threatened only in the 3rd minute with Guidogan’s one-piece finish.

In the 11th minute, Haaland didn’t manage to catch the projection well, while Leipzig made their first visit to the opposition frames in the 14th minute with Raum’s parallel turn.

To get to 19′ when, after a corner kick, there was a fumble in the Leipzig area. No City player was able to finish, but just as the period ended Slavko Vincic was called to VAR, where he found that the ball had found its way into Henriques’ hand after Rodri’s header. So he showed the white bullet, with the Haaland to take over to open the scoring (he sent the ball into the bottom left corner, Blaszwicz got it right, but he couldn’t save).

And before the “bulls” could recover, the second “hit” came to the caps! Specifically, only in 78” again by Haaland. De Bruyne took a terrific shot that rattled it horizontal beamwith the Norwegian forward taking the “rebound” by scoring with a header.

City kept pressing. In the 34th minute, the visitors protested for a foul-red by Ederson on Laimer, but instead saw their goal fouled before the end of the first half for the 3rd time. In the 3rd minute of stoppage time, with Zeus to take the header, the ball to go parallel to the goal line and the Haaland to push her into the net.

The home team, as usual, showed no inclination to slow down in the second half. Instead, they found three more goals until 57′both of them with their top scorer.

He made it 4-0 at 49′ The Gintogan with a diagonal finish, while the 5-0 at 53′ and the 6-0 at 57′ with phases… fine carbon: Corner executions, “rebounds” from the 22-year-old “alien” and goals!

Pep Guardiola withdrew his top scorer in the 64th minute, with Alvarez taking his place. After that, the pace dropped relatively. Leipzig looked for the goal of… honor, however the icing on the cake (7-0) was put by De Bruyne with placedara at 90’+1′.

Watch the match live here.

MVP: Very good performance from Gintogan. No-no, we’re kidding, obviously. HISTORIC performance from Haaland, who rightfully deserves the accolade!
