Erling Haaland Matches Cristiano Ronaldo’s Historic Scoring Streak
Manchester City’s goal machine, Erling Haaland, has once again etched his name into football’s history books by matching Cristiano Ronaldo’s career-best scoring streak. The Norwegian striker has now scored in eight consecutive matches, replicating a feat achieved by Ronaldo during his prime years at Real Madrid.
Haaland’s consistency in front of goal has been nothing short of phenomenal this season. His latest strike came during City’s 3–1 win over Brighton at the Etihad Stadium, where he converted a powerful finish from Kevin De Bruyne’s pinpoint pass. The goal marked his 15th of the season across all competitions — keeping him firmly on track to defend his Golden Boot title.
Speaking after the game, City manager Pep Guardiola praised Haaland’s relentless hunger:
“Erling’s mentality is world-class. He never stops. Whether he scores or not, he’s always there, pushing the limits.”
The comparison with Cristiano Ronaldo highlights Haaland’s growing influence in world football. Ronaldo’s iconic 8-game streak in 2014 came during Real Madrid’s Champions League-winning campaign, and now Haaland finds himself in similar company breaking records with the same cold precision that made Ronaldo a global icon.
Fans and analysts alike are already speculating whether Haaland can go one better. With upcoming fixtures against Tottenham, Newcastle, and Aston Villa, the opportunity is ripe for the Norwegian to set a new Premier League era record.
Beyond his goals, Haaland’s link-up play, pressing intensity, and leadership continue to evolve, making him more than just a poacher he’s becoming the complete modern striker.
If his current form continues, Haaland could finish the season challenging not just Premier League records but also the all-time European scoring charts.
