Erling Haaland was on another level in Tuesday’s Champions League match as the 22-year-old Norwegian scored five goals to lead Manchester City to a 7-0 rout of RB Leipzig and a 7-1 aggregate win that sent the Citizens into another quarterfinal draw.
The Pep Guardiola-led team drew the first leg 1-1 in Germany, and while many pundits expected City to advance, few expected the German team that gave City a run for their money in Germany to lose 7-0 in Manchester on Tuesday.
Five goals from Erling Haaland and two more from IIkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne equaled City’s biggest Champions League win since 2019 against Schalke 04 as they trounced Leipzig 8-1 on aggregate.
