Erling Haaland Lands Four Football Milestones in Guinness World Records
Guinness World Records recognizes Erling Haaland's goal-scoring achievements.
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has shattered four football milestones and been bestowed with four Guinness World Records certificates by the prestigious Guinness World Records. These achievements were celebrated before the start of the 2026/27 Premier League season at the Etihad Stadium.
Haaland broke the record for the fastest player to score 100 goals in the English Premier League on December 2, 2025, when he netted against Fulham. He attained this impressive feat in just 111 matches, following his debut for Manchester City back in the 2022/23 season. His record-breaking streak commenced during his debut English Premier League season, when he netted a staggering 36 goals in 38 games.
This feat surpassed Mohamed Salah's previous record of 32 goals in a season and also topped the 34-goal record previously held jointly by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer.
Haaland's prowess extends beyond the English Premier League. He holds the Guinness World Records title for the most UEFA Nations League goals by a player, with an impressive tally of 19 goals between September 2020 and November 2024. Additionally, Haaland is recognized for the most goals scored in a UEFA Champions League match, with a five-goal performance against RB Leipzig in March 2023. This marked a tie with Lionel Messi and Luiz Adriano for the same record.
At the age of 26, Haaland's impressive collection of Guinness World Records is a testament to his extraordinary goal-scoring ability on both domestic and international stages. With the 2026/27 Premier League season on the horizon, Haaland's continuing scoring prowess might very well earn him more Guinness World Records in the future.
