Manchester City’s Norwegian striker Erling Haaland scores the team’s third goal, his hat-trick, during the UEFA Champions League round of 16 second-leg football match between Manchester City and RB Leipzig at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, north west England, on March 14, 2023.
City are yet to go all the way in the Champions League, but they have never had a striker of Haaland's quality to make the difference in the latter stages before.“Firstly, I’m proud to play in this competition, I love it,“ added Haaland. “Five goals! To win 7-0 is amazing.” Guardiola had kept Kevin De Bruyne in reserve for Abu Dhabi-backed City's 1-0 win at Crystal Palace in the Premier League at the weekend and on his return to the starting line-up, the Belgian was back to his best.
Leipzig did have cause for complaint over two controversial calls that had a massive impact on the game before half-time. Leipzig could have been gifted a route back into the tie when Ederson sprinted from his goal to wipe out Konrad Laimer. Firstly, he hammered home at the second attempt after Blaswich parried his initial header to match Tommy Johnson's record of 38 goals for City in the 1928-29 season.
