BVB: Haaland with new Bundesliga record – 50 goals in 50 games

BVB striker Erling Haaland set a new Bundesliga record with his goal to make it 3-1 at VfL Wolfsburg. The Norwegian, who scored immediately after a short break after a long injury break, has now scored 50 goals in 50 Bundesliga games – an unbelievable rate. In the long history of the league, no one has managed that before the 21-year-old.

So far, Timo Konietzka, who has also been in Dortmund’s service for a long time, has held the record. It took him 63 games for his 50 hits. This is followed by Roy Makaay (FC Bayern) and Uwe Seeler (Hamburger SV), who each required 67 games for their first 50 goals. At the same time, the Norwegian goal getter is now the youngest player to score 50 goals. Haaland is 21 years and 129 days and displaced Klaus Fischer, who was 164 days older than he made his 50th “Bude”.

Erling Haaland “is a difference player”

After the game in Wolfsburg, Borussia Dortmund coach Marco Rose emphasized the great value of his Haaland for the team. “Erling is of course a different player. And if you have to do without a different player as a team for a long time, then that does something to you,” said Rose after the striker’s brief assignment. “Erling gives you energy. Erling wanted to play even longer. Then he comes in and scores a goal immediately. That’s the difference he makes. We’re glad he’s back.”

The 21-year-old Norwegian had been absent from Dortmund on October 19 due to a hip flexor injury. On Saturday in Wolfsburg, Haaland came on in the 72nd minute. Just nine minutes later, he scored the third Dortmund goal of the day (81st) – and thus his record goal.
