2021-03-10T14:16:47.280Z


Thanks to his 4 goals, two in the first leg and as many in the return, against Sevilla FC in the round of 16 of the Champions League, the Norwegian from Dortmund


It's a machine.

The Norwegian colossus, Erling Braut Haaland, made another impression on Tuesday night in the round of 16 second leg between Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla FC.

Thanks to a new double, as on the first leg, the goleador allowed the German team, held in check (2-2) on their lawn, to qualify for the quarter-finals of C1.

A look back at the breathtaking figures of this phenomenon, which is only 20 years old.

Incredible precocity!

He is the first under-twenty player to score in his first five Champions League games with Red Bull Salzburg in 2019. In his first group stage meeting against Belgians Genk, he scored a hat-trick during the first period when he was only 19 years old.

This made him the third youngest player to achieve this feat in C1, after Raul and Wayne Rooney.

A phenomenon had just been born.

Determining

Last year, for his first knockout match in the Champions League, Haaland was decisive by scoring a brace in the round of 16 victory against PSG (2-1).

Three weeks later, the Parisians took their revenge (2-0) in the return match in a Parc des Princes behind closed doors due to the health crisis.

20 goals at 20

After his double Tuesday night against Sevilla FC, Erling Braut Haaland made history in the Champions League.

He is, in fact, the youngest footballer to reach the 20-goal mark at the age of 20 years and 231 days, all in just 14 games.

The former holder of this record was none other than Kylian Mbappé who had recorded this total at the age of 21 years and 355 days.

From 20 to 100 million

Haaland attracts lusts.

In January 2020, Borussia Dortmund managed to recruit him from Salzburg for a transfer fee of € 20million.

Some sources, however, suggest that 25 million bonuses were paid to the player's father and agent, former Norway international Alf-Inge Haaland and Mino Raiola.

Under contract until June 2024, the next transfer of the Norwegian prodigy is estimated at more than 100 million.

Tripled in 21 minutes

The Scandinavian giant made a name for himself in the Bundesliga very quickly.

A few days after his arrival in Dortmund, he scored in a hat-trick in just 21 minutes of play during a league meeting in Augsburg (3-5).

Substitute, Haaland entered the field in the 56th minute before scoring three times in the 59th, 70th and 80th minutes of play. An entry with fanfare!

45 goals in 46 games

A formidable efficiency and a percentage that is increasing.

In 14 months in the yellow and black Dortmund jersey, the native of Leeds (England) scored a whopping 45 goals in 46 games in all competitions, an average of almost one achievement per game.

With his previous Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg, he peaked at 29 goals in 27 games.

At his first Norwegian club Molde FK, he had stacked 20 goals in 50 games.

The Norwegian international has also scored 6 goals in 7 games for his selection.
