Erling Haaland has reached 36 Champions League goals for Manchester City, matching Sergio Aguero's club record in the competition. His double at Porto on September 8 delivered a 2-0 win and brought the Norwegian level with City's previous leading scorer on that stage.
The pace of the achievement stands out. Haaland reached the mark in 40 appearances, 24 fewer than Aguero needed. He opened the scoring with a 47th-minute header and added his second in stoppage time to settle the match.
Including his spells at Salzburg and Dortmund, Haaland has 59 goals in 59 Champions League games. Across all competitions for City, he has scored 167 times in 203 appearances, behind only Aguero and Eric Brook on the club's list. Those totals demonstrate his rapid accumulation of goals, although higher records remain ahead.
The victory in Portugal also supported City's encouraging start under Enzo Maresca. Enzo Fernandez, who supplied the opening goal, praised his teammate's finishing. For the 26-year-old striker, the individual milestone sits alongside the wider task of sustaining results and helping City compete for trophies throughout the new season.
