MANCHESTER, England — In an impressive display during Manchester City’s Champions League fixture against Sparta Prague on Wednesday, Erling Haaland executed a spectacular volleyed back-heeled goal.
The Norwegian forward showcased his remarkable skills by leaping into the air and skillfully redirecting the ball past the Prague goalkeeper, Peter Vindahl, from close range at the Etihad Stadium.
This stunning goal marked Haaland’s 12th goal in just as many appearances this season, giving City a commanding 2-0 lead in the match.

Haaland’s remarkable performance has earned him a nomination for the prestigious Ballon d’Or award, recognizing him as one of the top players in the world.
He will compete against Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior and his Manchester City teammate Rodri for this coveted honor.
The award presentation is set to take place in Paris on Monday, and Vinicius is considered a strong contender following his impressive hat-trick in the Champions League earlier on Tuesday.

Nevertheless, Haaland’s goal served as a reminder of his prolific scoring ability since joining Manchester City, where he has dominated the Premier League scene, clinching the golden boot in the past two seasons.
His initial goal occurred in the 58th minute, followed by another score just ten minutes later in the 68th minute, further solidifying his reputation as an elite striker.
