Erling Haaland made Manchester City history during Wednesday's Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, surpassing Sergio Aguero as the club's all-time leading scorer in the competition. The Norwegian striker added another milestone to his career after previously breaking Champions League scoring records.
Haaland scored his record-breaking 37th Champions League goal for City with a header in the 53rd minute, moving past Aguero's previous mark of 36. He later added another goal, taking his club tally to 38.
The achievement highlighted Haaland's record-breaking 37th goal and his place above Aguero in City's scoring history.
However, the historic night ended in disappointment for Manchester City, which suffered a 4-2 defeat against PSG at the Etihad Stadium. The French champions found the net four times to secure the visitors' victory.
Despite the defeat, Haaland's individual numbers remain remarkable. He reached 38 Champions League goals for Manchester City in just 41 appearances, compared to Aguero's 36 in 64 matches.
The 26-year-old has also scored 61 Champions League goals overall, having previously represented Borussia Dortmund and RB Salzburg in the competition.
