Haaland dresses as Santa Claus hoping that Cristiano does not surpass him as scorer in 2023

Erling Haaland showed off on social media a Santa Claus outfit with the Champions League cup and a ball from Europe's top club competition in his hands, amid his desire to become the top scorer in 2023, a list that Cristiano Ronaldo threatens by competing alongside the Norwegian.

If there is one achievement that the forward can boast about for the rest of his life, it is without a doubt having lifted the 'Orejona' with Manchester City, so despite doing so during the summer, the European does not stop showing the greatest achievement of his career, which is why he showed the trophy on Christmas-themed social networks.

Throughout the last Champions League, Erling Haaland managed to score 12 goals to become one of the top scorers in the history of the competition. Some scores allow the Norwegian to be on the list of scorers this calendar year with 50 goals behind the 52 of Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappé who ran out of games in 2023.

The Citizens star still has two games before the end of 2023, the same number of games as Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese who is in that fight with 51 goals from him. "Christmas is here! I hope you can enjoy it with your loved ones,” Haaland wrote on his social networks to accompany the photograph with the Champions League.

The record that can be broken

We will have to wait if Erling Haaland and Cristiano Ronaldo at least tie Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappé, but as the trend is going, both the Norwegian and the Portuguese aim to fight until the last minute of the 180 that remain for the two scorers who They represent the old and new school of this sport.
