Erling Haaland's Champions League goal record: How many Man City striker needs to pass Cristiano Ronaldo for single season mark

Manchester City wrapped up the 2022/23 season with an incredible trophy treble including a first ever Champions League title for the blue half of Manchester.

Erling Haaland's outrageous first year at the club played a vital role in City's success as the Norwegian smashed a string of goal records.

Haaland's sensational first campaign in England ended with 52 goals scored across all competitions, including 36 in the Premier League.

That haul broke the Premier League record for goals scored in one season, overtaking Alan Shearer and Andy Cole.

He wrapped up the season with 12 Champions League goals, to also win the tournament Golden Boot, but he fell short of breaking Cristiano Ronaldo's 2014 record.

At the start of the 2023/24 season, Haaland has an overall total of 35 Champions League goals, with a ratio of 1.17 goals per game, which is unmatched by any other player in the competition's history.

Haaland's 12 goals in 2022/23 saw him easily clinch the Golden Boot, as Liverpool's Mo Salah finished second, with eight scored.

Karim Benzema scored 15 goals to win it in 2021/22, and Haaland's tally of 12 is well short of the overall one season record, in Champions League action.

Ronaldo netted 17 goals, including eight goals in the knockout stages, as Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid in the 2014 final.

Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have broken clear at the top of the all-time Champions League scorer list but Haaland (currently 18th on the list) looks on course to challenge their dominance in the years ahead.
