Norwegian wunderkind Erling Braut Haaland is etching his name in the record books on an almost weekly basis.<\/p>\n
The sizzling Borussia Dortmund striker became the fastest player to score 20 Champions League goals following his scintillating brace against Sevilla in Tuesday’s Champions League last-16 second leg. And this came just days after scoring his 100th career goal\u00a0aged 20 years and 228 days.<\/p>\n
Reaching the milestone in only 14 games, the Norwegian has blitzed the previous best, held by Harry Kane, by 10 games.<\/p>\n
Cristiano Ronaldo, the all-time top scorer in the Champions League, required 56 appearances to amass 20 goals.<\/p>\n
Haaland is the top scorer in this season’s competition with 10 goals in six games. His double in the 2-2 draw against Sevilla\u00a0also made him the highest scoring Norwegian in European Cup history, surpassing former Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.<\/p>\n
