Erling Haaland after his gala performance: 'My superpower is scoring goals'

Five goals in one Champions League match - only Lionel Messi and Luiz Adriano managed this feat before Erling Haaland. The Norwegian was overjoyed after the game: "I love this competition, everyone knows that," said Haaland. Only his substitution after 63 minutes dampened the striker's mood: "I would have liked to score a double hattrick." Pep Guardiola also commented on the game.

RB Leipzig went down 7-0 to Manchester City on Tuesday evening. The disaster already took its course in the first half after Erling Haaland scored three times and the decision on the quarter-finalists had already been made. Haaland added to his tally after the break, becoming the third player in the history of the competition to score five goals in one match.

"This is a terrific night. Scoring five goals myself and seven goals in total - I'm so happy. I don't even remember the goals - I just scored," Haaland expressed after the match. When asked about his superpower, he replied in his usual flippant manner: "My superpower? I think after scoring five goals, it's scoring goals," said the former Dortmund player, who then gave a little more insight into his life. "I don't think too much, I just want to put the ball in the net. It' s all about being quick and reacting. Of course, it's also about quality. But a lot of it is in the head."

Pep Guardiola was delighted with his team's performance: "We were incredible. Our high pressing was insane. We created a lot of problems for Leipzig and played very well with and without the ball," said Guardiola, who also had a few words for his star striker:"He's an incredible guy and was really good."
