Milestone for ex-dortmund

Erling Haaland has reached an important milestone, and at a breathtaking pace. In Manchester City’s club World Cup against Juventus (5: 2), the Norwegian scored its 300th goal in professional football-in the 370th game. The former Dortmund was faster at this level than almost every football legend of our time. With a few exceptions.
With his quota, Haaland outperforms today’s real striker Kylian Mbappé, who had played 409 games for Monaco, PSG and the French national team until he scored for the 300th time. Like Haaland today, the 26-year-old was only 24 years old at the time, Lionel Messi with 418 missions for Argentina and FC Barcelona on his hump when his 300th professional goal managed. Cristiano Ronaldo needed a total of 554 games for Sporting, Manchester United, Portugal and Real Madrid for this milestone. The 40-year-old was already 27 when he made the 300. In the meantime it is more than 900.
Historically, Haaland also faces legends such as Johan Cruyff (393 games), Marco van Basten (423), Jupp Heynckes (492), Klaus Fischer (498) or Michel Platini (500). Harry Kane needed 499 games, Robert Lewandowski 517. From her first years in South America, there are still a few games in the transfer market database, Ronaldo (is now at 436 games), Romário (373) or Luis Suárez (482) rank behind the Norwegian.
With Seeler & Binder: These players were faster than Haaland
The performance data of HSV legend Uwe Seeler are completely present-the striker made it in sensational 277 games at the age of 25 and thus much faster than Haaland. Gerd Müller (333 games at 25) also reached the brand in front of the ex-Dortmund. The situation at the Moroccan Abderrazak Hamdallah is not 100 percent clear, which, according to everyone in the database, reached its 300th goal in the 369 game. However, not all games of his first club OC Safi are completely inserted, which is why he would probably fall behind Haaland.
The record holder in the transfer market database is rapid legend Franz Binder, who achieved his 300th goal in the 233rd game. Between 1926 and 1949 he was also active for the Hütteldorfer, the Austrian and after the violent integration into the German Empire. In all teams and competitions-with the exception of the ÖFB team (16 goals in 19 games)-he came up with more goals than competitive games. Only his performance data for the then workers’ association FC Sturm 19 St. Pölten are not entered. In this he was already 14 part of the men’s team and switched to Rapid in 1930 at 18.
