Rio Ferdinand, the legendary footballer drew a comparison with the Swedish forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Stunned Pep Guardiola with Haaland’s ‘unbelievable’ goal exclaimed "Not normal for a human being.”.
The Man City forward showcased an acrobatic backheel strike against Man City’s 5-0 win over Sparta Prague in the UEFA Champions League.
“I didn't know how he scored," stated Guardiola. "For a human being, I would say no [it's not normal]. He made a fantastic goal.
“He can touch 15 or 20 balls but have seven or eight chances. It's unbelievable.
"He made an incredible goal, similar to Borussia Dortmund a few years ago. I don't know which one is more difficult but I would say both.” - continued the manager.
Rio Ferdinand, the legendary footballer drew a comparison with the Swedish forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The Swedish player was renowned for his acrobatic strikes and volley techniques throughout his career, shooting a stunning long-range bicycle kick against England back in 2012.
City teammate Phil Foden applauded Haaland on this goal. He made a rather funny comment -
“I just spoke to him if I tried to do that I'd pull my groin,' Foden told TNT Sports. ‘I don't know how he does it, I just think it's just his long legs are.”
“He's a freak, isn't he?”
Haaland now suppressed Neymar in the Champions League all-time scoring charts with his 44 goals. He equalised with the Chelsea legend Didier Drogba, achieving the milestone in just 42 games.
With the City’s 26 games victory without a single defeat, they set up a new record in Europe’s top club competition. Successfully surpassing Manchester United's streak from 2007 to 2009.
