Haaland Goals This Season: 29 in PL, 42 Total Stats

Erling Haaland has spent the 2025/26 season doing what he does best — finding the net with unsettling regularity. His 29 Premier League goals for Manchester City place him among the season’s top scorers, even as Kylian Mbappé continues to challenge him for the title of world’s most prolific striker.

Premier League Goals: 29 · Total Season Goals: 42 · PL Games: 40 · Penalties: 5 · Career Goals: 300+

Haaland and Mbappé have posted nearly identical xG figures this season, yet their finishing outcomes diverge significantly.

How much has Haaland scored this season?

Haaland has netted 29 times in 40 Premier League appearances for Manchester City, according to the detailed season tracking at mbappe-haaland.com’s season data. His overall tally across all club competitions and Norway internationals sits at 42 goals from 45 games, giving him a goals-per-game ratio of 0.93 outside the league proper. In the context of the Premier League alone, he averages 0.73 goals per match — down slightly from his early-season pace but still among the top conversion rates in Europe’s top five leagues.

Premier League

• 29 PL goals in 40 matches
• 14 of City’s 23 PL goals at mid-season point
• 5 goals from the penalty spot

The penalty split tells an important story about Haaland’s scoring profile. Of his 29 league goals, only five came from the spot, meaning roughly 83% of his Premier League output came from open play. That proportion sits comfortably above Mbappé’s 67.4% open-play rate and reflects Haaland’s preference — and ability — to finish chances generated from open play rather than relying on set-piece awarded spot kicks.

All Competitions

• 42 goals across 45 club and international matches
• 88.1% of goals from open play
• xG of 22.36 across reported matches

Haaland’s xG of 22.36 against 42 actual goals suggests he has outperformed expected goals by a notable margin — roughly 20 goals above the statistical average for the chances he has taken. For context, Sofascore’s player comparison shows Mbappé posted an xG of 22.24 across similar reported fixtures, nearly identical to Haaland’s, even though their finishing outcomes differ significantly.

Club and Country

Manchester City remains the dominant source of Haaland’s output, with 42 goals spanning Premier League, Champions League, and domestic cup fixtures. When Norway’s national team is included, the tally expands to reflect additional international appearances throughout the 2025/26 season. The contribution becomes clearer when you consider Haaland accounted for 14 of City’s 23 Premier League goals at one mid-season checkpoint, per OneFootball’s comparative analysis — a dependency rate that underscores his importance to Pep Guardiola’s attack.

Does Haaland have 30 goals this season?

Based on the verified data from mbappe-haaland.com season data, Haaland has not yet crossed the 30-goal threshold in Premier League play. His 29 PL goals leave him one strike short of that round number — a milestone that may fall in the season’s closing fixtures if his current rate holds. The broader 42-goal all-competition figure naturally surpasses 30, but the Premier League-specific count remains below the mark.

Recent Form

Haaland’s most recent confirmed strike — his 29th PL goal — arrived after a stretch where he went without scoring for more than a month. That dry patch briefly fueled questions about fatigue or tactical adjustments opposing teams had made against him, but his conversion rate once back on target demonstrated continued sharpness when clear chances arrived inside the box.

Path to 30 Goals

• One more PL goal needed to reach 30 in the league
• Remaining City fixtures offer multiple opportunities
• Champions League goals add to overall count but don’t count toward PL milestone

The pattern suggests the 30-goal PL mark is achievable within the remaining schedule, assuming no injury setbacks. What’s notable is that reaching 30 would not change Haaland’s relative position against Mbappé — who has already surpassed that figure in La Liga alone with 38 Real Madrid goals this season.

How many goals does Erling Haaland have for Man City?

Haaland’s Manchester City account shows 29 Premier League goals and a total that rises to approximately 42 across all competitions for the club this season. The Sofascore player comparison data places his season rating at 7.32, reflecting strong overall contribution even in matches where he failed to score. City have relied heavily on his output — at the season’s midpoint, Haaland had directly contributed to more than half of the team’s league goals, a concentration of firepower that few clubs across Europe’s top leagues can match.

This Season

• 29 PL goals from 40 appearances
• 42 total City + Norway goals
• 5 penalty goals in league play

When you break down the distribution further, Haaland’s home-away split matters for understanding how Guardiola’s tactical setup influences his output. The mbappe-haaland.com goal distribution breakdown shows Haaland converts roughly 64% of his goals at home, suggesting City still create more high-quality chances in familiar surroundings — but his 36% away rate remains lethal by any standard.

Career Total

Beyond this season, Haaland’s career tally has crossed the 300-goal landmark. According to the research compiled from multiple sources, he reached that milestone faster than Lionel Messi did at the same age — a statistical comparison that underscores just how rapid his goal accumulation has been since debuting at senior level. The exact breakdown between City and prior clubs (Borussia Dortmund, Red Bull Salzburg) plus internationals sits outside the 2025/26 scope but confirms the broader career arc.

Who has more goals, Haaland or Mbappé?

As of the most recent verified data, Mbappé holds a one-goal lead over Haaland across all competitions. The French striker has 43 goals from 37 games (club and France national team combined), while Haaland sits at 42 goals from 45 games. The gap is narrow but consistent — Mbappé’s per-game efficiency of 1.16 goals outpaces Haaland’s 0.93 by a meaningful margin.

Premier League vs Ligue 1

Directly comparing leagues introduces complications, since Haaland operates in England’s Premier League and Mbappé in Spain’s La Liga. In terms of goals per game within their respective domestic leagues, Haaland posts 0.73 PL goals per match while Mbappé’s La Liga rate — extrapolated from 38 goals in 33 Real Madrid appearances — comes to roughly 1.15 per game. That’s a 57% efficiency edge for Mbappé, per the mbappe-haaland.com comparison statistics.

Champions League

Head-to-head match data shows Haaland has already faced Mbappé’s team directly in this season’s Champions League. On November 2, 2025, Haaland scored twice against Real Madrid in a fixture that did not feature Mbappé scoring or assisting, per StatMuse head-to-head tracking. That direct encounter gave Haaland a psychological edge in the narrative, even if the aggregate season totals still favored Mbappé overall.

How many total goals does Haaland have?

Haaland’s career total has passed the 300-goal mark, a milestone he reached faster than any player in the modern era save perhaps Messi at a comparable age. The exact club-by-club and international breakdown varies by source, but the consensus figure places his career tally comfortably above 300 as of mid-April 2026.

Career Milestones

• 300+ career goals across all senior clubs and Norway
• Reached the milestone faster than Messi
• Multiple seasons of 30+ league goals across different competitions

The speed at which Haaland crossed 300 goals matters because it demonstrates sustained elite performance across multiple leagues — from the Austrian Bundesliga with Salzburg, through the German Bundesliga with Dortmund, and now into the Premier League with City. Each environment presented different tactical demands, yet his conversion rate held.

300 Goals Record

Reaching 300 career goals in such a compressed timeframe places Haaland in rarefied company. Only a handful of outfield players have achieved that milestone before age 25, and the comparison to Messi’s pace reinforces the scale of the achievement. The implications extend beyond personal records — at 218 million euros in market value according to Sofascore’s market value tracking, Haaland represents the most valuable striker in world football and a cornerstone asset for City as they build their next competitive cycle.

The season totals show Mbappé holds a one-goal lead — 43 to Haaland’s 42 — across club and international play, though Haaland’s per-game efficiency and open-play rate offer a different argument for those evaluating overall striker quality. — mbappe-haaland.com comparative analysis
