And in the end, only one remains. Erling Haaland did not miss the opportunity to end the 2022-2023 season with the status of top scorer for the whole season. This Tuesday, the winner of the Champions League with Manchester City had to score a small goal against Cyprus in the Euro 2024 qualifying match to overtake Kylian Mbappé. The French star had scored his 54th goal the day before against Greece by giving the victory to the Blues (1-0) on penalty.
Almost one goal per game
Never mind, Erling Haaland, who had already broken the record for the number of goals scored in the Premier League in a season with 35 goals, left only the crumbs to the competition. For his 57th match played in all competitions with his club, Manchester City, but also with his selection, Norway, the Scandinavian giant offered himself a double which allows him to reach the bar of 56 goals. A statistic that may be important in the race for the Ballon d’Or.
A way like any other to mark the spirits a little more for the one who has won almost everything this season, between the Champions League, the English Championship and the FA Cup. For Haaland, only the League Cup and the World Cup which his country failed to qualify for, eluded him.
For his first season in England, the Norwegian striker crushed everything. With 56 goals in 57 games, he only missed a very small goal to reach the incredible average of one goal per game over the whole season…
