Sergio Agüero’s record is about to fall at Manchester City. Having scored 36 goals in the UEFA Champions League with the Citizens, Erling Haaland needs just one more goal to become the club’s all-time top scorer in the competition.

Haaland one goal away from surpassing Sergio Agüero’s record

Haaland has scored 36 goals in 40 Champions League matches in a Citizens shirt, thus matching Agüero’s tally, which the Argentine reached in 64 appearances.

This difference highlights the Norwegian striker’s remarkable efficiency, as he equalled his predecessor’s record in 24 fewer matches.

The Manchester City forward could therefore move into sole first place in the club’s all-time top scorers’ ranking in the European competition with his next goal.

Haaland has also made a fast start to the 2026-2027 season in the Premier League, with six goals in six matches. He also has two goals in the Champions League, giving him eight goals in eight appearances in all competitions, according to Transfermarkt statistics.

Manchester City will face Paris Saint-Germain tomorrow evening on matchday two of the league phase of the 2026-2027 Champions League.
