A Look at Erling Haaland's Strange Record Against Bayern Munich Ahead of Crunch Champions League Tie

• Erling Haaland has quite the impressive individual scoring record against Bayern Munich
• The Norwegian will still not have many fond memories of playing against the Bavarians
• Manchester City welcome Bayern Munich for their crunch UCL first-leg quarter-final game

Erling Haaland is back facing familiar foes as Manchester City gear up to face Bayern Munich in a mouth-watering UEFA Champions League clash.

With eight teams remaining in the competition, Pep Guardiola’s Man City will hope to finally break the duck after falling short of European glory for more than a decade .

Their next obstacle is Thomas Tuchel’s Bayern Munich, who have a fairly decent record in the competition.

Both Bayern and their new manager have won the competition in the last four years, with the Bundesliga giants last winning the competition in the 2019/2020 campaign.

However, City will not be easy opponents, as they come into the tie having won their last eight games across all competitions, scoring an impressive 31 times in that time.

Haaland’s goal record vs Bayern

The English side will certainly rely on their star for goals, particularly against Bayern, as the Norwegian has a decent record against the German giants.

Putting aside the fact that Haaland has scored 44 goals across all competitions this campaign, the 22-year old also has a knack of scoring against the Bavarians and has five goals in seven games against them.

However, that record against Bayern only tends to please him individually because a deeper look at those stats will show that in all those games, he has ended up on the losing side, according to SuperSport.
