FC Copenhagen's goalkeeper Kamil Grabara was left gobsmacked by Erling Haaland's abilities when he met him face-to-face in the Champions League.

Haaland's last three home games have all ended up with the Norwegian striker bagging a hat trick. The writing was on the wall that he was on his way to claim another match ball, only for his boss Pep Guardiola to hook him off at halftime.

However, he had already left an impression on Grabara. As the Manchester Evening News reports, the Polish goalkeeper had a side chat with Haaland's teammate Jack Grealish.

The Englishman later revealed how their conversation went.

"He is a pleasure to play with. When I was walking back after one of his goals, their ‘keeper said something to me and I said 'what?'
"He said 'this guy is not human' and I said 'yeah, you’re telling me!' He is unbelievable and a pleasure to be around, he is so humble."

Haaland has now scored 19 goals in all competitions this season. Guardiola will be hoping that he will be the duck that finally solves Manchester City's curse in the Champions League this season.

Sports Brief has also reported that Manchester City hotshot Erling Haaland was the man of the moment during his side's Champions League clash against Copenhagen on Wednesday night.

The star forward was twice on target as he inspired City to a 5-0 thrilling win over the Danish side at the Etihad Stadium.

Haaland's brace came just days after he netted a hat-trick during the Manchester derby in an epic Premier League encounter at the same venue.

The two goals against Copenhagen also took his tally to 19 for the Citizens, with 14 of those coming in the English top flight.
