Haaland has finished top scorer before, too, in 2020/21 with Dortmund as he bagged 10 for the German outfit, who made it through to the quarter-finals before being eliminated by City.

The last player, from an English club, to finish top scorer was Cristiano Ronaldo for Manchester United in 2007/08.
