Erling Haaland equals record set by Lionel Messi of FIVE goals in one Champions League game... but can you name the lesser-known Brazilian striker who also achieved the feat?

Erling Haaland put in a record-breaking performance against RB Leipzig to rocket Manchester City through to the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday evening.

Not content with becoming the youngest player to reach 30 Champions League goals, knocking Kylian Mbappe off the top spot, the Norwegian was also the fastest player to do so.

But there were more records for Haaland to seize, as he became City's lead goal scorer for goals scored in one season - breaking a 94-year-old record in the process.

Finally, Haaland became the third player to score five goals in a single game in the European competition.
