Haaland has had a spectacular season, with 11 goals and 3 assists in 12 games. Haaland is having a historic season, being the first player in Champions League history to score 6 goals in his first three games, as well as the first Bundesliga player to score five goals in his first two games, according to Transfermarkt. .

The competition is made by his own teammate, Jadon Sancho, who has 17 goals and assists in his 29 games of the season. Its value has increased exponentially in just a few years, going from being valued at 15 million euros in 2018 to 117 million today.
