Manchester City’s Haaland Scores 300th Career Goal at Club World Cup

Erling Haaland reached a remarkable milestone by scoring his 300th professional goal during Manchester City's 5-2 victory over Juventus in the FIFA Club World Cup. At only 24 years old, Haaland achieved this feat in just 370 appearances, significantly fewer than other modern football greats like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappé. His goal-scoring record spans multiple clubs including Molde, RB Salzburg, Borussia Dortmund, and Manchester City, as well as the Norwegian national team, where he has netted 42 times. Haaland's performance has been a key factor in Manchester City's recent successes, especially as the club undergoes a squad rebuild under Pep Guardiola following a trophyless 2024/25 season. Despite the unconventional nature of his milestone goal, Haaland's consistent ability to find the net underlines his status as one of the most lethal finishers in the game today. Manchester City now tops their group and may face Real Madrid in the next round of the Club World Cup.
