You can have a near perfect game as a defender but as soon as you slip [he scores].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">To underline how fast he has achieved the feat, Lionel Messi needed 66 matches to reach 50 goals in the competition, while Cristiano Ronaldo lagged way back by requiring 91.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The Portuguese forward, though, is the top scorer with a 141 Champions League goals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Asked if Haaland can one day surpass Ronaldo&#8217;s mark, Guardiola said: &#8220;In that rhythm, yeah. He&#8217;s not injured, he could play for 10 or 12 more years, and he maintains this progression, absolutely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Ex-City defender Joleon Lescott added: &#8220;He may not be the one who is having a great game, but if he is given a chance in front of goal he has a level of composure to execute.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/articles\/cd07dzjdk24o\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Haaland is swatting aside whatever competition is being put in front of him.
