Erling Haaland scored twice and made it 12 goals in seven games as Man City kicked off their Champions League campaign in style with a 4-0 win over Sevilla – and teammate Kevin De Bruyne has warned the striker will only get better.
Sevilla vs Manchester City: Result| Highlights| Analysis
Result:
4-0
Erling Haaland has found the net 10 times in his first six Premier League appearances for City – the joint-fastest a player has reached 10 goals in the competition’s history – alongside Mick Quinn of Coventry City in December 1992.
The Norwegian has already become the missing piece to Pep’s attacking puzzle and will look to continue that impact in his debut Champions League fixture in City colours.

City
Haaland was on hand to convert a De Bruyne cross on 20 minutes before Foden reversed a clever second goal into the far corner after the break. City, who were at their slick best, made the game ultra-safe on 67 minutes when Haaland tapped home after Foden’s shot was parried – his 25th goal in just 20 Champions League appearances.
Manchester City opened their Champions League campaign with a 4-0 victory away at out-of-form Sevilla on Tuesday.
Analysis:
Manchester City looks like slight favourites with their star-studded line-up, but Sevilla has proved their mettle on the big UCL nights in the past and might just create an upset that would spark their seemingly dull season so far.
Manchester City will be eager to end their quest for a Champions League Trophy this time around as they kick-start their campaign against Spanish giants Sevilla.
Haaland turned home Kevin De Bruyne‘s cross mid-way through the first half and, after Phil Foden doubled City’s lead early in the second period, the Norway striker scored his 12th goal in seven matches to deal Sevilla a fourth defeat from their last five outings.
