I keep seeing this made up stat for Messi repeated on various websites/Media etc..
Messi was definitely on 80 goals scored for Barcelona by the end of the 2009 season, when he turned 22 that summer.
Still absolutely nowhere near Haaland‘s numbers though!

Did think i was amazed he wasn’t ahead of Ronaldo for goals at that age.
 
On top of the “will he adapt?” comments that we got in the summer, I saw quite a few saying that bringing such an ego into the dressing room will disrupt the club in time. Just goes to show that people just assumed he was like Ibrahimovic just because he once said he was his idol or whatever. The guy could not be any more polar opposite. I love how every single player and even Pep keep repeating how humble he is, how he is loved by absolutely everyone. He’s a dream. This isn’t real.
 
Haaland has started incredibly. 19 goals in 12 games. Wow. If he avoids injury this season the sky is the limit.
 
Maybe it's because most of his goals are so close to the goalmouth, but it's quite a rarity to see the keeper save his shots. That is kinda amazing in itself, imo.
 
Honestly, aside from the you tube clips I've only seen him when he's played against us for dortmund, but I had no idea how deadly he was! He's incredible. I'm speechless really how well hes started.
Only injury can stop him really and I was also thinking maybe defenders will target him and wind him up and he may retaliate and get a few red cards. But I've looked at his history and he's never been sent off and has only had 17 yellow cards so I think his temperament is fine
Onwards and upwards!!

I laughed when he scored the first last night, as did Jack, as did Pep. He’s phenomenal in front of goal.

I was thinking 'That's the compulsory one done and dusted, now let's see what the evening will bring'. Absolutely bonkers.

If Haaland brings the UCL-trophy with a game-winning goal, it'll outshine Aguero's 93:20 moment.

As per others, have to disagree. I can honestly say everything since that moment has been gravy as far as I'm concerned. I think there's an expectation we'll get over the line in the CL at some point soon especially with Haaland, but I never, ever, ever in my wildest dreams thought I'd witness what we did on that day.
 
There can't be a 10/11 year kid in the country who doesn't want to be Haaland at the moment.
Fuck me I'm nearly three score and ten and I want to be Haaland.
