Sebastien Haller scores as he wants in the Champions League season so far. So often, in fact, that it beats an Erling Haaland record.
Ajax striker Sebastien Haller set the record for Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland for the most goals in the first five Champions League games with his brace in the 2-1 win at Besiktas on Wednesday.
After the first five games in his first season in the premier class, Haller now has nine goals and, together with Robert Lewandowski from FC Bayern Munich, tops the list of goalscorers this season.
Champions League: Haller overtakes Haaland
At the same time, with his two goals in Istanbul, he also overtook the previous record holder Haaland, who had eight goals for FC Salzburg in his first five CL games in the 2019/20 season.
Haller was under contract with Eintracht Frankfurt from 2017 to 2019. After a year and a half at West Ham, he joined Ajax earlier this year.
