The Erling Haaland stats<\/strong> are the stuff of a goal machine: 172 goals in 207 games for Manchester City, and the one man who makes Norway a genuine dark horse at the World Cup 2026. Here are the numbers behind the most lethal striker on the planet. For the bigger picture, see our World Cup 2026<\/a> hub.<\/p>\n\n

Erling Haaland stats: club and country by the numbers<\/h2>\n

From a teenage breakout in Austria to record-breaking seasons in England, Haaland has scored everywhere he has played. His record for club and country reads:<\/p>\n

Team<\/th>Apps<\/th>Goals<\/th>Assists<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Manchester City<\/strong><\/td>207<\/td>172<\/td>32<\/td><\/tr>

What the numbers say<\/h2>\n

Haaland’s finishing is barely believable. His 172 Manchester City goals came from an expected-goals figure of 104.6, an overperformance of nearly 70 goals that no other striker comes close to, and he has converted 143 big chances. He scores every which way too, with 24 headers and 30 penalties among that City haul, and his 1,264 touches in the opposition box show a striker who lives on the last line.<\/p>\n\n

A goal a game, everywhere<\/h2>\n

This is not a recent phenomenon. Haaland plundered 77 goals in just 80 games for Borussia Dortmund and announced himself with eight goals in nine Champions League-laden appearances for Salzburg. Across more than 16,700 Manchester City minutes he averages close to a goal a game, the most reliable source of goals in world football.<\/p>\n\n

This is the stage that always eluded Haaland — and he is making it count, with five goals in his first World Cup as Norway reached the Round of 16. Here is how every game has unfolded.<\/p>\n
