Erling Haaland took his season tally to 39 goals in 36 appearances after his glut of goals against Leipzig. Here is a breakdown of the goals he has scored for club and country.
Erling Haaland is known for one thing, and that is scoring goals. The 22-year-old is on track to become the most lethal finisher of this generation and has already smashed numerous records in his young career.
The Norwegian announced himself to the world after scoring nine goals (a triple hat trick) in one game at the 2019 Under-20 World Cup.
Since then, he has grown from strength to strength, and his latest achievement is scoring five goals in one Champions League game, a feat that has only been achieved by Lionel Messi and Luiz Adriano.
We can sing the high praises of this lethal goalscorer all day, but we are here for a breakdown of his career goals, so let us get into that.
Haaland Manchester City goals
Haaland completed a £51.2 million move to Manchester City during last summer’s transfer window and quickly got into what he knew how to do best: score goals.
The 22-year-old has appeared 36 times for the Citizens and has scored 39 goals already. With City still in contention for the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup, he is expected to add more to this tally barring any serious injury.
Haaland Borussia Dortmund goals
With big European clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Manchester City battling for his signature, the Norwegian opted to play in the Bundesliga as he joined Borussia Dortmund.
It’s safe to say he had a fantastic time there, scoring 86 goals in 89 appearances.

Haaland joined Molde as a 16-year-old on February 1, 2017. Although he had a quiet first season, he quickly showed a glimpse of what was to come in his second season.
By the time he left the club, he had netted 20 goals in 50 games for them.
Haaland National team goals
After announcing himself to the world at the U-20 World Cup in 2019, it was time to step up to the Norwegian national team.
