The recent BD Cricket Match coverage has drawn attention not only to cricket but also to one of football’s hottest stories — Erling Haaland’s phenomenal scoring streak. In the third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Manchester City secured a 2-0 away win against Villarreal, with goals from Haaland and Bernardo Silva. This victory marked Haaland’s 12th consecutive game with a goal, taking his tally to an astonishing 22 goals, nearly averaging two per match — a feat few players in modern football can claim.
According to official statistics, Haaland has now equaled Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of scoring in 12 straight matches. Even more impressively, he has netted 53 goals in just 51 Champions League appearances, surpassing Mohamed Salah’s 52 goals in 100 games and breaking into the tournament’s all-time top ten scorers. As BD Cricket Match commentators humorously put it, “When Haaland’s on the pitch, the net seems bigger,” capturing the unstoppable aura surrounding the Norwegian striker right now.
After a slow start to the season, Manchester City have regained their sharp form, with Haaland once again proving to be a world-class finisher. The team currently sits second in the Premier League, three points behind leaders Arsenal. Haaland tops the scoring chart with 11 goals, five more than second-placed Semenyo. In the Champions League standings, City have collected seven points from two wins and one draw, ranking fifth overall, while Haaland’s four goals put him third in the top scorers’ list, just one behind Kylian Mbappé.
For Haaland, personal brilliance has never been in doubt, but international results have long stood between him and the Ballon d’Or dream. This time, however, things look different. Under his leadership, Norway are dominating their 2026 World Cup European qualifying group, sitting three points clear at the top with a huge goal difference advantage. The team is now within reach of a direct ticket to the World Cup finals in November, and Haaland seems poised to finally make his debut on the biggest stage of all. BD Cricket Match fans worldwide have started calling it “Haaland’s golden year,” believing that if Norway qualifies and he continues his scoring rhythm, the Ballon d’Or might finally be within his grasp.
As the saying goes, “Success breeds success.” With his current form and Norway’s rise, Haaland’s journey from record-breaker to global champion could just be getting started — a story that even the most dramatic BD Cricket Match could hardly script better.
