Haaland leads Man City into the quarterfinals while breaking Champions League records.

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City reached the last eight of the Champions
League for the sixth consecutive season, setting a new club record for
goals in a season of 39. The tie was delicately balanced after a 1-1
draw in eastern Germany three weeks ago, but a Leipzig side depleted by
injury never looked like a match for their star-studded opponents. Kevin
De Bruyne was back to his best and Ilkay Gundogan should have opened
the scoring after just three minutes, but Janis Blaswich raced out from
his goal to block. After half-time, VAR spotted a handball against
Benjamin Henrichs that led to a penalty that neither the City players
nor the crowd even noticed. Haaland fired low to Blaswich's left to
maintain his perfect record from the spot for City with his sixth
penalty of the season, and two minutes later it was 2-0 as Haaland teed
up De Bruyne, who smashed a shot against the bar, and then showed his
speed and strength to power home a header from the rebound.

Leipzig could have been gifted a route back into the tie, but Slovenian
referee Slavko Vincic did not even award a free-kick. Any doubt over the
outcome was ended with the final action of the first half, when Ruben
Dias rose highest to head Jack Grealish's corner onto the post. Erling
Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne kept Manchester City on course for a first
Champions League title under Pep Guardiola. Haaland broke Tommy
Johnson's record of 38 goals for City in 1928-29 and set a new mark with
still three months of the campaign to go. De Bruyne curled a superb
strike into the top corner in stoppage time to move level with Lionel
Messi and Luiz Adriano's record of scoring five goals in a Champions
League game. Guardiola replaced Haaland with Julian Alvarez with 25
minutes remaining.
