Sports09:30, 19-09-2025

Manchester City's head coach Josep Guardiola assessed Erling Haaland's chances of becoming the top scorer in the history of the Champions League in the future. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

In the match against Napoli, the Norwegian striker scored his 50th goal in the competition, achieving this record in just 49 games. The current top scorer in Champions League history is Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored 140 goals.

When asked if Haaland could surpass the Portuguese player, Guardiola replied: "At this pace – yes. Erling has the opportunity to perform at a high level for 10-12 more years."

Currently, the 25-year-old Haaland shares the ninth place in the ranking with Thierry Henry. His youth and high performance in the game create conditions for further growth in the future.

Additionally, Guardiola emphasized Haaland's important role in the team's success. The player greatly helps the team with his speed, strength, and goal-scoring ability.

In the future, he may add a new chapter to the history of the Champions League.
