Haaland shined in the Norwegian national team shirt in the EURO qualifying round, and became the top scorer in European football this season.
Haaland double, Norway beat Cyprus
In the fourth round of Group A Euro qualifying , Erling Haaland left a mark with a brace in just 4 minutes (from 56 to 60), contributing to Norway’s 3-1 victory over Cyprus.
This result helped Norway rise to 3rd place in the group (4 points / 4 matches, equal to the team ranked above Georgia but lost the difference), thereby continuing to raise hopes of competing for tickets to the final round of EURO 2024 . .
Because the club tournaments have ended and the next gathering of the Norwegian team takes place in September, Haaland officially ends the 2022/23 season with a record of 56 goals at both club and national team levels.
More importantly, 2 goals against Cyprus also helped the 22-year-old striker surpass Kylian Mbappe (54 goals) to become the player with the most goals in European football this season. The following names such as Harry Kane, Lionel Messi, Lewandowski are far behind Haaland’s achievements.
In addition to the “triple win” of the title, impressive personal statistics will certainly help the Man City star “score” in the Golden Ball race.
Besides, Haaland also reached 24 goals for Norway, surpassing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Tore Andre Flo to rise to 4th in the list of the greatest goalscorers in the history of this country. Currently, the gap between him and the leader Jorgen Juve is only 9 goals.
More importantly, the number of 24 goals was conquered by Haaland after only 25 matches. If he maintains his current form, the prospect of him monopolizing the No. 1 position is not far away.
