Erling Haaland will look to continue his remarkable record in the Champions League when Manchester City face his old team Borussia Dortmund tonight.
City activated Haaland’s 60m release clause earlier this summer, with the striker scoring 12 goals in his first eight appearances in all competitions so far this season.
Two goals in last week’s 4-0 win at Sevilla also took his record in the Champions League to 25 goals in 20 appearances in the competition, with many of those coming during his spell at Dortmund.
The Bundesliga side opened their Champions League campaign with a 3-0 win over Copenhagen last week but were well beaten by RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga at the weekend.
