Both these players are far ahead of the duo of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. This duo was older compared to Haaland and Mbappe when they notched up 30 goals in the UCL.

On the night, Haaland also celebrated becoming the fastest player to reach the 30-goal milestone, doing so in just 25 matches, beating Ruud van Nistelrooy’s previous record of 30 games. He also became just the third player in the history of the competition to score 5 goals in a single UCL game. Safe to say, Haaland looks to be one for the history books.
