Erling Haaland gets close to an important record after scoring with his National Team
Erling Haaland and Norway
Erling Haaland is the top scorer of the moment. Manchester City’s Norwegian striker has just finished an important season with his club after winning the treble and being the top scorer in the Premier League and UEFA Champions League. Now, the player seems to start his new season in the same way. With Pep Guardiola’s team he already scores important goals in the first days and now, he is also present with his country’s national team.
On this occasion Haaland showed some of his quality and his scoring instinct inside the area. The play began in the 25th minute with an overflow by Antonio Nusa. The winger won the wing and took a cross into the rival area and the ‘Android’ did not waste it. With an impressive jump he managed to connect the ball and score the first for the home owners. However, this goal is more important than it seems.
With this goal, Haaland reached 25 goals with his national team in 26 games. So now he closes the gap with Jorgen Juve who is the top scorer with 33 goals. However, the most surprising thing of all is that the Norwegian forward has done it when he was only 23 years old. That is to say, he has a long career ahead of him to surpass this record and even impose his own brand. One that, with his scoring quota, will be very difficult for new talents to achieve.
Can Haaland guide Norwegian to EURO 2024?
Norway still has life in the qualifiers for EURO 2024. The Norwegian team reaches seven points with five games played, while Scotland and Spain are at the top of said group. The only way for Haaland and Odeegard’s team to be in the next EURO is if they win their remaining games, and the two top rivals stumble. In fact, the Spanish National Team and Norway will meet on October 15 where the fate of both could be defined.
