Manchester City crushed the Czech club with 5–0 and Haaland scored two of the goals.

But it's the acrobatic move that's being talked about in the football world after tonight's match.

Haaland threw up his left leg high in the air and kicked the ball with his heel with such force that the ball went into the goal via a bounce.

A goal that, in terms of technique, body control, and elegance, had similarities with Zlatan Ibrahimovic's famous heel goal against Italy in the European Championship 2004.

Shortly after, he sent in another ball. Haaland is now up to 44 goals in the Champions League in 42 matches.

City has seven points after three matches in the Champions League and has not lost any match this season and has not lost a match in the Champions League during regular time in 26 matches.
