Haaland, the goal machine at 25, has a soft spot in crucial matches.

Manchester City's Norwegian forward Haaland was born on July 21, 2000, and today marks his 25th birthday. First of all, happy birthday to the magician! On this special day, B/R Football has compiled Haaland's goal statistics from club, national team, and various competitions.

A comprehensive look at Haaland's career stats:

• By competition: 67 matches in the Bundesliga with 62 goals, 97 matches in the Premier League with 85 goals, and 48 matches in the Champions League with 49 goals.
• By team: Salzburg 27 matches with 29 goals, Dortmund 89 matches with 86 goals, Manchester City 146 matches with 124 goals, Norway national team 43 matches with 42 goals.

Looking at Haaland's goal statistics, he is indeed a goal machine, scoring freely; however, he has also been underwhelming in key matches. According to the data, Haaland has played in 9 finals throughout his career, failing to score in all of them, with 8 of those occurring while at Manchester City.

Norway's national team missed out on the 2024 European Championship, despite being ranked ninth in Europe in terms of market value. The core of the Norwegian team is mainly composed of starters from the top five leagues, including superstars like Haaland and Ødegaard, yet they couldn't qualify for the 2024 Euro, which features 24 teams. This shows that it’s tough for Haaland to provide significant help.

For Haaland to become a true superstar, he needs to deliver in crucial matches and show creativity in attack, rather than just finishing off chances. With the departure of Manchester City's top midfielder De Bruyne, it's possible that Haaland's goal tally may decline, and the magician needs to find a way to break through and increase his scoring.
