'He told me during the game Haaland is not human!'

Manchester City star Jack Grealish has revealed that FC Copenhagen's goalkeeper couldn't help but praise his teammate Erling Haaland during the match after the striker put a first-half double past the shot-stopper in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night.

Haaland continued his incredible goalscoring run this week, netting just seven minutes into City's third group-stage tie before going on to add a second goal in the 32nd minute.

The Citizens went on to claim an emphatic 5-0 victory over their Danish opponents, while Haaland now has an astonishing 19 goals in just 12 appearances across all competitions for the Manchester outfit.

The centre-forward has also scored 28 times in the Champions League in his career to date, already surpassing the likes of Luis Suarez, Rivaldo, and Sadio Mane in the competition's all-time scoring chart having played just 22 games, per Transfermarkt

His devastating form in front of goal appeared to leave Copenhagen shot-stopper Kamil Grabara shell-shocked on Wednesday night, with City attacker Grealish revealing the former Liverpool youth star told him the Norwegian "is not human" during the match. 

"It's unbelievable, honestly. I've never witnessed anything like it in my life," the England international, who won the Man of the Match award on the night, told BT Sport.

"For the first and second goals I was just laughing. He is always there.

"The keeper said something to me as I was walking back. He said, 'He's not human!'

"I said 'You're telling me!'

"Hopefully he [Haaland] can carry on this form and take us to glory."

With Haaland having been substituted off at half-time, many feel he was perhaps denied a fourth hat-trick at the Etihad Stadium this season.
