Kevin De Bruyne reckons there's even more to come from Manchester City sensation Erling Haaland as the Belgian dished out a menacing warning to their Champions League rivals. Haaland, 22, made his European debut for City as they got their Group G charge under way against Sevilla on Tuesday night.
After netting 10 times in his first six Premier League appearances, £51million signing Haaland predictably made another huge impact at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium with goals either side of the break. England playmaker Phil Foden and Ruben Dias also got on the score-sheet to rubber-stamp a 4-0 win and a perfect start in the Champions League.
Haaland opened the scoring after combining with De Bruyne and provided yet another trademark finish later on. It took his staggering early-season tally to 12 from seven games, and there's no sign the Norwegian is about to slow down as he continues to shine for his new club.

"For the moment, he's scoring the goals and obviously it helps us win games and it's a pretty good thing for him, it's the perfect start. I think the way he adapted to us is really good."
De Bruyne added: "Outside the goalscoring, there is another part of the game — and that part of it is more tough to adapt to — but it makes it more exciting because we know if he can adjust to the way we play, the level is going to go up and that's what we demand from him. But, at the moment, he's scoring that much you can get away with it a little bit more."
