Erling Braut Haaland's sensational brace against Paris Saint Germain on Tuesday night means he has now scored more goals than the entirety of the FC Barcelona squad combined in the Champions League this season.
The 19-year-old scored twice in eight minutes to hand Lucien Favre's side a memorable win over the French champions in their last 16 first leg match.
His second goal, a thumping left-foot strike from outside the box which sent the Westfalenstadion into elation, took his tally in the competition this term to 10 - one more the Barca's current tally of nine.
It's also more than four other teams in the last 16 - Atalanta, Atletico Madrid, Olympique Lyonnais, and Valencia.
