The 22-year-old Norwegian now has 25 goals in 20 Champions League games in his young career (breaking Mbappé’s record as the fastest to that milestone by 33 days) while Haaland has now scored in his first Champions League game with three different sides (RB Salzburg, Borussia Dortmund, Man City). Meanwhile, Haaland continued his fast start to the season for Manchester City with his 11th and 12th goals in seven games. The pair of goals also come during a week full of headlines for Mbappé, who

Pep Guardiola and Manchester City begin their latest bid for Champions League glory at Sevilla.

There's a debut for Manuel Akanji and a full debut for Sergio Gomez in the back four, with Kyle Walker and John Stones absent through injury. It's an inviting cross and Haaland thrusts out a leg at the back post for his 11th of the season and 24th in 20 Champions League appearances. Grealish seems to really like the look of Navas and shimmies inside again to tee up his team-mate. His shots might be all over the shop at the moment but his radar for a final ball is unwavering. Mir makes a bit of a nuisance of himself in the City box but Guardiola's men are able to break. All hands to the pump as Papu Gomez fouls Silva on the edge of his own box. Suso lifted it in with Ederson out of his ground, but the City keeper got a slight shove in the back from Dolberg as he attempted to throw it out. It results in his namesake Papu having Sevilla's best chance of the night, but he hacks a bouncing ball over. A goal and a couple of assists amount to a solid if not spectacular start to the Premier League season from Foden. 51st minute: Now Cancelo has a go and scuffs wide from outside the box. 73rd minute: Alvarez is quickly into the thick of things, finding De Bruyne for a left-footed strike that's deflected behind. There's a long way to go in this Champions League campaign but City are off and running in emphatic fashion.

Erling Haaland just cannot stop scoring for Manchester City. Make that 12 goals in seven competitive games in the Norway striker's first season for City ...

“At the moment, Erling is scoring the goals.” He has failed to score in only one of his first seven games for City — somewhat surprisingly against relegation candidate Bournemouth in the Premier League — and already has back-to-back hat tricks to his name. Haaland is showing an uncanny ability to be in the right place at the right time — usually directly in front of goal — to finish off chances in his ominous early displays for City since an offseason move from Dortmund. Haaland scored a hat trick on his debut in the competition for Salzburg, and was also on the score sheet in his first game in the Champions League for Borussia Dortmund. Foden was also involved in the third goal, with his shot saved by goalkeeper Yassine Bounou only for Haaland to be right there to tap in the rebound. And there was never any doubt Haaland was going to do the same for City once Kevin De Bruyne was set free in the inside-right channel by Foden’s pass, with the Belgium playmaker sending over a cross that Haaland converted from close range with a flying volley in the 21st minute.

Another battle against Tottenham and hopefully we can continue," the Spanish coach said. "I think his numbers in all his career, even in previous teams, is quite similar.

There was a touch of irony about City returning to Spain to start this year's Champions League run after last season's campaign ended in Guardiola's homeland. But only winning the Champions League for the first time will make City's season a complete success after so many years of painful failure in the competition.

The 22-year-old put City ahead in the first half and he netted again after the interval as Phil Foden and Ruben Dias also scored.

Manchester City made a strong start to their latest Champions League campaign with a convincing 4-0 win at Sevilla, as Erling Haaland netted another brace.

Former City winger Jesus Navas did make a dangerous run early on but the hosts soon settled in for a damage-limitation exercise. They pushed City back but the visitors held firm and almost snatched a second as Haaland sent De Bruyne through on goal but Bounou produced a fine low save. City threatened as Haaland glanced a header wide, Joao Cancelo had an attempt blocked and Jack Grealish rifled into the side-netting.

Guardiola is correct in the sense that no team can achieve any level of success relying solely on one player's performances, as it is ultimately a team game. “We won't win just because of Erling but he has a special talent, and he can help us solve problems, definitely. While Guardiola is correct in what he's said, it is hard to argue against the belief that the Norway striker gives City a greater chance of finally securing a Champions League trophy. “All the players who come here were brought here by the club to make us better, that makes sense,” However, it is hard to argue that the signing of Haaland provides them with a much greater chance of finally securing a Champions League trophy. He has settled well, like with

Only 31 players in the 30-year history of the Champions League have scored more goals than City’s new icon. Erling Haaland has already carved up a series of Premier League records, overtaking 1990s Coventry legend Mick Quinn’s record for most goals in a player’s first five games in the modern English top flight, only to see the timeless Quinn go back level after Haaland only scored once at Villa Park on Saturday evening.
