Top five Manchester City goalscorers in Champions League ft. Erling Haaland
Haaland set a new record with a brace in the UCL. Manchester City star Erling Haaland has once again entered his name in the history books, despite the Premier League side losing to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League 2026-27 league phase.
The Norwegian striker scored twice against PSG but failed to inspire his side to a win. Despite this, his brace set a new record for City as he became the club's top scorer in the continental tournament.
However, before Haaland, there have been other City players who also put their name on the list as the highest goalscorer once, before Haaland surpassed them. Let's take a look at the highest Manchester City goalscorer in the Champions League.
Along with Sergio Agüero, Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus, and Erling Haaland, he ranks as one of just five footballers in City history to score 20 goals for the team in the tournament. Gabriel Jesus: 20 goals While playing for Man City, Gabriel Jesus scored 20 goals in the UCL.
including standout performances like goals against Real Madrid and a hat-trick against Dinamo Zagreb. The Brazilian scored 23 goals in all competitions during his best season at City in 2019-20.3.
Raheem Sterling: 24 goals In the top European competition, Raheem Sterling recorded 24 goals for Man City. Between 2015 and 2022, he made 67 outings for the team, scoring one hat-trick (against Atalanta in 2019) and contributing 15 assists.
With 24 goals, he is the third-highest goal scorer in UCL history for Manchester City, only surpassed by Sergio Agüero and Erling Haaland. Sergio Agüero: 36 goals Sergio Agüero ranks second on the list.
Despite not winning the trophy, the former Argentine striker was a prolific goalscorer. He led City to plenty of league titles but never actually got his hands on the only trophy he most desired.
However, he did play in the final of the competition, but luck was not on his side as they lost the final, and the trophy continued to elude him in his playing career. However, he remains the second-top scorer in the UCL for City after Haaland surpassed him.
