‘The Beast’, ‘cyborg’ or ‘terminator’. Any nickname given to him would perfectly reflect his massive scoring record in his first season, 2022-2023, in the Premier League.
Haaland helped Guardiola’s City to win the English championship for the fifth time in six seasons with their 36 goals in 35 games setting a record surpassing the 34 league goals achieved by Andy Cole with Newcastle in 40 games in the 1993-1994 campaign and for Alan Shearer with Blackburn in 42 games in 1994-1995.
Hat tricks in record speed

He finished the 2022-202 season3 with a total 52 goals in 53 games in all competitions that was excellent for City to win a historic treble by bringing home the Premier League, FA Cup and, for the first time, the long-awaited Champions League, where he scored 12 goals.
