We can all agree that experience is an important factor in a daunting competition like the Champions League but Erling Haaland is proof that you don't need to be the most experienced guy to get the job done.

The 19-year-old striker began his Champions League journey with RB Salzburg this season, bagging eight goals for the Austrian club in six games before they were relegated to the Europa League after failing to nail a spot in the Round of 16 stage of the tournament. This earned him a big move to Borussia Dortmund during the winter transfer window

The Norwegian has continued doing what he does best at Signal Iduna Park, tearing opposition defences apart and making goalkeepers look helpless as he fires the ball past them.

Haaland also dominated the headlines this week after netting a brace against Paris Saint Germain on Tuesday. With 10 goals from seven games, he is now the joint top scorer of the tournament alongside Robert Lewandowski.
