In the 6th round of the Champions League stage, Real Madrid defeated Atalanta 3-2 away to stop two consecutive defeats in the Champions League. In this game, Mbappe scored the goal to break the deadlock and retired injured. Mbappe has thus reached the Champions League 50-goal milestone25 years and 365 daysBecome the second-youngest Champions League 50 Goalscorer in history, second only to Messi's24 years and 284 days。
The player currently most likely to break Messi's record for the fastest 50 Champions League goals is Manchester City's Norwegian striker Erling Haaland.24 years and 143 daysHaaland has scored a staggering 46 goals in his previous 44 Champions League games, four goals short of the 50-goal milestone. Manchester City have three games left in this season's Champions League stage, away to Juventus, away to Paris and home to Club Brugge. However, Manchester City's loss of Ballon d'Or winner Rodri this season has led to a serious decline in the team's form, and Haaland has not been very efficient in scoring goals lately.
Messi has left the Europa League, but the legend of Messi remains in the Champions League. Regardless of whether Haaland can break Messi's record for the fastest 50 Champions League goals (the expansion of the Champions League + changing the format will help set various new records), the most important thing for Haaland is to improve the stability of the game output, play the ball instead of abusing vegetables, and help the team beat the opponent in a tough battle.
Come on, Mbappe! Come on, Haaland! Football needs more fantastic goals.
