Manchester City clinch last 16 spot with 250th Champions League goal

Manchester City became the fastest team ever to reach 250 goals in the Champions League, while securing last 16 spot with 3-0 win against Young Boys.

Erling Haaland ensured a City milestone with stunning second-half goal from the edge of the box.

Haaland, who joined the Etihad in the last two campaigns, has quickly become an integral part of the team.

He scored two goals in the match against Young Boys, and he could have completed a hat-trick if not for his substitution with almost half an hour to go.
