After a goalless first half with the Italian champions at the Etihad Stadium, Haaland broke the deadlock shortly after half-time when flicking home a Foden scoop.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It means he\u2019s reached a half century in European football\u2019s premier competition in just 49 matches, surpassing Ruud van Nistelrooy who notched the same amount in 62 outings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHe seems to break every record going. At his age as well, it\u2019s unheard of what he\u2019s done. I don\u2019t think anyone\u2019s going to break the records he\u2019s going to break if he carries on playing the way he is,\" Foden said on TNT Sports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Haaland's scoring rate of more than one per game is significantly better than anyone else in the top 50 scorers in European Cup history. 27 of his goals in the Champions League have come with City, while he netted 15 times for Borussia Dortmund and on eight occasions for Red Bull Salzburg before moving to the Etihad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"It\u2019s the perfect start \u2013 a 2-0 win against a very tough opponent \u2013 obviously they went down to 10 men early which helped us. But they\u2019re a nightmare team to break down and we\u2019ve seen that today. The structure, how they stay so deep and they give you minimal spaces. It\u2019s about playing the ball at the right time and breaking the lines. I thought we were pretty clever, we didn\u2019t give too many turnovers away in silly areas and overall it was a solid performance,\" Foden said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
