Only 117 goals until Erling Haaland breaks Cristiano Ronaldo’s Champions League record – The Warm-Up

WEDNESDAY’S BIG STORIES Haaland is good Ad Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Robert Lewandowski, Karim Benzema, Raul, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Thomas Muller, Thierry Henry, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Andriy Shevchenko and Filippo Inzaghi – he’s coming for you. Champions LeagueHow to watch Sevilla v Manchester City in the Champions LeagueYESTERDAY AT 08:53 What's that, you're really going to waste time talking about how good Erling Haaland is, and shamelessly rope us in with a headline featuring Ronaldo's name too? Puh! (That’s a scoffing type of noise).

Rent free much? Well, yeah, cos Haaland is only 22 and has a Champions League goalscoring ratio that could eventually and absolutely obliterate a record held by one of the greatest of all time. Ronaldo has 141 Champions League goals, has absolutely no chance of adding to that tally this side of Christmas, and while the legendary Portuguese had exactly zero in his first 20 Champions League games, Haaland now has 25 to his name after scoring twice in the 4-0 win over Sevilla.

That tally, after just 20 games, is a record, and it has taken him half of the amount of matches it took Messi, Mbappe, Benzema and Lewandowski...serious names, and he’s left them in his wake. Where will it stop? Who apart from plucky Bournemouth can stop him? And, given how Haaland is being so devastatingly brilliant right now, just where could we be placing this guy's name in future conversations? Hold your horses, like, but as cheesy as it sounds, greatness is playing out in front of us, and so long as he stays injury-free then who knows where this campaign could rank, especially when you have Kevin De Bruyne & Co.
