Borussia Dortmund played Besiktas on Wednesday and as it is common not only in Champions League matches, Erling Haaland made his mark in the statistics again. The twenty-one-year-old striker set a new record in the competition.
The Westphalian side entered the new Champions League season with a comfortable win at Besiktas. In the first half, they took a 2-0 lead, with Erling Haaland making his mark in the statistics.
The Norwegian sharpshooter has been in incredible form this season. He has scored 8 goals and added 4 assists in six competitive matches. In short, an excellent record.
In the Champions League, he also broke a new record with his goal. It was his 21st goal in the competition, having played only 17 games in the competition.
Until now, Ruud van Nistelrooy was the fastest scorer of 21 goals in the Champions League, but he needed 10 more games to achieve this feat. Filippo Inzaghi needed one more game.
Robert Lewandowski, the sharpshooter, needed 38 games, while other legends needed even more – Andrei Shevchenko needed 39, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé needed 40, Luis Suárez needed 52 and Cristiano Ronaldo needed 56.
