Erling Haaland Shines in Manchester City's 5-0 Victory

Erling Haaland scored a stunning backheel volley during Manchester City's 5-0 victory over Sparta Prague, reinforcing his status as a favorite for the Ballon d'Or, despite competition from Vinicius Junior. The goal, described by City manager Pep Guardiola as 'not normal for a human,' showcased Haaland's remarkable talent, as he leaped to connect with a cross from Savinho and scored with power from six meters out. Haaland's second goal in the match brought his tally to 13 goals in 12 games this season and 44 goals in 42 Champions League appearances. Guardiola praised Haaland's extraordinary ability, likening him to Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Meanwhile, Phil Foden, who also contributed significantly to the match, is attempting to regain his form after a slow start to the season. The win set a record for City with 26 unbeaten Champions League matches.
