Erling Haaland did his part again this Saturday against West Ham, double scorer and decisive passer for the benefit of Tijjani Reijnders. This brings his total this season to 25 goals and four offerings in 23 matches played. Only Harry Kane with Bayern and Kylian Mbappé with Real Madrid display such standards
In total since his arrival at Manchester City in 2022 from Borussia Dortmund, the Norwegian striker, now 25 years old, has scored no less than 104 goals in the Premier League – for 114 league matches played. A performance obviously compared to the record of Mancunian icon Cristiano Ronaldo.
A CR7 blithely outdated
Between 2003 and 2009, then 15 months from August 2021 to November 2022, CR7 defended the colors of the Red Devils by striking 103 times in the English elite, but in a total of 236 appearances – or 122 more than the cyborg who had the nerve to overtake him this weekend. In his defense, during his first years at United, the Portuguese goleador played in a less offensive register, notably serving center forwards such as Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Louis Saha, then Wayne Rooney.
