The 19-year-old bagged a brace against PSG the last time out
The fairytale continues for Borussia Dortmund striker, Erling Haaland. The Norwegian has been by far, the biggest revelation this season. If there's any lesson we can learn from the 19-year-old, it is simply that you don't need to have the most experience to shine on the biggest stage in club football.

Haaland's record in front of goal this term is putting many top attackers to shame. He started his European campaign with RB Salzburg where he bagged eight goals from six appearances before he was lured to Signal Iduna Park by Borussia Dortmund. He's been on the upward trajectory since he made that famous switch
The attacker dominated the headlines after bagging two impressive efforts for the BVB as they defeated Paris Saint Germain 2-1 in their Round Of 16 encounter last week. That is the same number of goals Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have in the UCL this term. In total, Haaland has 10 efforts in Europe this season, just one below Robert Lewandowski, who tops the goalscoring charts. He is surely one to keep an eye on.
