Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said Erling Haaland is a "gift to all of us" after the Norwegian made history with five goals against RB Leipzig to fire his team into the Champions League quarter-finals.
Haaland became the fastest and youngest player to reach 30 Champions League goals on Tuesday night as City destroyed Leipzig 7-0 at Etihad Stadium, his 32 coming in just 25 appearances.
The 22-year-old striker now has 39 goals for the season – the most by a City player in a single campaign – while his five hat-tricks are more than any other player in Europe's big five leagues. “Five goals, what can I say?
I said many times, he’s a joyful guy. His mood in the locker room is always happiness," Guardiola said. “He is a gift to all of us.
