He shone again on the Champions League stage, taking his UCL goals tally for the season to 10 goals. Haaland hit the back of the net twice for Borussia Dortmund to reach the Champions League quarter-finals in a heated 2-2 draw with Sevilla to progress 5-4 on aggregate.
The team from Germany won the first leg of their last-16 tie 3-2 in Seville, where the young striker also scored a brace.
The Norway international striker has scored 20 goals in just 14 appearances in Europe’s premier tournament in his young career, and he was the key orchestrator of Dortmund’s progress.
