Manchester City’s players had a memorable international break, with several standout performances for their national teams. Among the headlines, Erling Haaland became Norway’s all-time top male goalscorer after netting a brace in a 3-0 victory over Slovenia in Oslo.

Haaland’s two goals brought his tally to 34 in just 36 appearances for Norway, cementing his place in the nation’s history. He opened the scoring early, and after Alexander Sorloth doubled the lead, Haaland completed the victory with his second goal on the hour mark.

Meanwhile, City’s English contingent faced a tough test at Wembley Stadium against Greece. John Stones captained the side from center-back, with Rico Lewis joining him in the backline and Phil Foden starting in the front three. Despite their efforts, England succumbed to a shock 2-1 defeat.

Greece opened the scoring through Pavlidis, and while Jude Bellingham equalized for England, Pavlidis sealed the win with a stoppage-time goal, handing Greece their first-ever victory at Wembley.

While Haaland celebrated a historic milestone, City’s English stars will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing result.
