Before tonight, the Ajax striker had been in sensational form in the competition, scoring seven goals in four games.
Erik ten Hag rested the 27-year-old for the game in Turkey, starting him on the bench with his team already qualified for the knockout stages, but they fell behind 1-0 at halftime.
In the 54th minute, Haller was summoned off the bench, walked onto the pitch, and did what he does best - scored.
He scored again 15 minutes later and in doing so, he has made Champions League history by breaking Erling Haalands' record for Dortmund.
Sébastien Haller is the first player in Champions League history to score 9+ goals in the first five games of his #UCL career.
