Champions League: Halaand Breaks Neymar’s Goal Record, Equals Drogba’s Feat

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland made headlines on Wednesday night by surpassing Neymar and equaling Didier Drogba in the UEFA Champions League goalscoring ranks.

In a commanding performance against Sparta Prague, Haaland scored twice, contributing to City's 5-0 victory. His first goal was a stunning back-heel volley that left fans in awe. This achievement brought Haaland's total to 44 Champions League goals, matching Drogba's record and surpassing Neymar's tally of 43.

Despite this impressive feat, Haaland still has a considerable distance to cover to reach Cristiano Ronaldo, who holds the record with 141 goals, and Lionel Messi, who has scored 129. Robert Lewandowski follows with 97 goals after scoring for Barcelona in their recent 4-1 win over Bayern Munich.
