MANCHESTER, England: Another goal, another record for Erling Haaland. The Manchester City striker became the fastest player to score 50 goals in the Champions League in a 2-0 win over Napoli on Thursday — reaching the landmark in his 49th game in European club soccer’s top competition. Haaland surpassed the previous record by former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward Ruud van Nistelrooy, who took 62 games to reach that total. “He seems to break every record going. At his age, it’s unheard of what he’s doing,” City teammate Phil Foden said. At the age of 25, Haaland looks capable of chasing down Cristiano Ronaldo’s all-time Champions League record of 141 goals. “The numbers speak for itself,” City manager Pep Guardiola said.
