Haaland Show: Incredible New Record

Sevilla 2-3 Borussia Dortmund (1-3)

Sevilla had not conceded a goal in seven games; then Erling Braut Haaland and Borussia Dortmund came to visit.

– It was a good first half, but in the second half we had problems. Three away goals against Sevilla is very good, so it’s good, says Haaland through V sport.

On Tuesday, the whole football world talked about PSG star Kylian Mbappé after a hat trick against Barcelona. Tonight it is Haaland who is on everyone’s lips. The duo are the only ones to have scored 18 or more goals in the Champions League before their 21st birthday.

– It was good to score goals. I love the Champions League and when I saw Mbappé score a hat-trick yesterday, I was motivated, so thanks to him. It was a nice night, Haaland says.

Before tonight’s match, Haaland recorded 16 goals in 12 matches in the Champions League (!), Which was a tournament record. That statistic improved him with two new goals.

– The Champions League is always something special. I enjoy the Champions League, and now you have to screw us in the next game to have a chance against Sevilla, says Haaland.

According to statistics agency Opta, no one has scored 19 goals in the tournament since the start of last season. Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski has 18 goals.

Haaland also scored his 10th goal for Dortmund in seven Champions League games, and according to choose nobody has scored so many goals so early for a club. Roy Makaay held the previous record of ten goals in ten games between 2003 and 2004.

Haaland is also the top scorer in the Champions League this season with eight goals in five games – three players have six goals. Only Ole Gunnar Solskjær (19 goals) of the Norwegian players has scored more goals in the tournament.

– I like to score goals and I love to plan to score goals, so yeah, it’s a bit planned, says Haaland.

And the way Haaland did it against Sevilla was tremendously impressive.

Nightmare start

Borussia Dortmund have been eliminated from the quarterfinals two seasons in a row and are looking to break that trend against Sevilla.

And it started in the worst possible way for Dortmund, which ended before the six minutes were played. Former Liverpool player Suso shot before sending the ball to Mads Hummels through the foot and into goal.

The visiting team was passive in the pressure, something that the yellow dresses have been for much of the season.

Haaland was heavily involved in Dortmund’s counterattack before they had played 20 minutes.

The forward showed strength and class by pushing heavyweights Diego Carlos and another away after a long play, before passing the ball to Mahmoud Dahoud. The latter took a turn, before hitting the ball near the corner. A magnificent score.

If the preparation for 1-1 was good, what came a few minutes later was even better. Haaland set the pace, played wall with Jadon Sancho, recovered the ball and slipped almost at 1-2. The turning operation is complete.

– It’s a miracle on goal, Viasat commentator Lars Tjærnås said live.

See the score:

The Norwegian could quickly become a two-goal scorer, when he sent goalkeeper Bono full blast with a cannonball in the 35th minute. Still, she was going to have her second acquaintance online the night before break.

Dortmund responded and came three against two. Marco Reus rolled the ball to Haaland on his right side, and the attacker sent the ball into the net in what seemed like the simplest thing in the world.

– Now he’s teasing the minds of two world-class plugs, Haaland, Tjærnås thought.

– I see the fear in the defenders, said ex-stopper and BT expert Rio Ferdinand.

– Fantastic football, a pleasure to see, said Morten Langli in V sport-studio.

See Haaland’s second score here:

The second half was an anticlimax when Dortmund played with the result. He was punished when Sevilla cut substitute Luuk de Jong, who slipped behind the defense on a free kick and made it 2-3. It could also have been a penalty for Sevilla in extra time, without the VAR listening to the team.

Therefore, Dortmund take with them a strong starting point with three goals away before the return settlement.

When asked if promotion is in the box for Dortmund, Haaland is very clear.

– Not absolutely not. We have to be screwed here and improve for the next game, he says and points to the lead.

Haaland also showed a temper when he and others got involved in some riots right before the end, without it becoming a big deal. He also received a yellow card for overtime.

The forward has never hidden how much he loves the Champions League, and lies down with a big smile on his face.
