Erling Haaland equals record set by Lionel Messi of FIVE goals in one Champions League game... but can you name the lesser-known Brazilian striker who also achieved the feat?

  • Haaland scored five times in just 58 minutes on the pitch in City's Leipzig clash
  • Norwegian broke the record number of goals scored by a City player
  • Adding to his achievements, striker became the fastest player to 30 CL goals 

Erling Haaland put in a record-breaking performance against RB Leipzig to rocket Manchester City through to the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday evening. 

Not content with becoming the youngest player to reach 30 Champions League goals, knocking Kylian Mbappe off the top spot, the Norwegian was also the fastest player to do so. 

But there were more records for Haaland to seize, as he became City's lead goal scorer for goals scored in one season - breaking a 94-year-old record in the process. 

Finally, Haaland became the third player to score five goals in a single game in the European competition. 

The first player to do so is recognisable: Lionel Messi, in Barcelona colours.

The World Cup winner put five past Bayer Leverkusen in 2012 during their round of 16 tie, but the Catalan club missed out on the ultimate glory in the end after being knocked out by the year's eventual winners Chelsea in the semi-final. 

But the second player might give even the most committed football fans more of a pause. 

In 2014, Messi's record was matched by then-Shakhtar Donetsk striker Luiz Adriano, when the Brazilian put five past BATE Borisov in their group stage match.

The Ukranian team beat the Belarusians 7-0 to progress to the round of 16, where they exited the competition off the back of their own seven-goal drubbing against Bayern Munich. 

Adriano joined Shakhtar in 2007, before moving on for spells at AC Milan, Spartak Moscow, Palmeiras and Antalyaspor. 

The 35-year-old forward returned to his boyhood club Internacional during the January transfer window. 

Haaland was substituted to a standing ovation in the second half of Manchester City's 7-0 rout of Leipzig, through he would undoubtedly have liked to stay and add to his tally. 

The Norwegian will have to surpass 48 Champions League goals to make it into the top ten of the competition's all-time scorers, but in his current form, that landmark looks all too achievable.
