He scored AGAIN! Haaland bags a brace and hits 64 goals for Norway
Erling Haaland is not stopping: the Norway captain has scored his second goal of the night against Denmark, taking his international tally to 64 in 56 games.
Details: Fabrizio Romano updated the incredible numbers live: having reached 63 goals earlier in the Nations League opener at Ullevaal Stadion, Haaland struck again to make it 64 goals in 56 appearances for Norway. The Manchester City striker completed his brace in Oslo, leaving Denmark helpless and social media in disbelief once more.
Two goals in one night, 64 for his country, and a scoring rate that no international striker in history can match. At 26, Haaland is already in a statistical universe of his own: for comparison, he reached 60 goals in just 53 caps, something neither Messi nor Ronaldo came close to at that speed. Tonight he simply added two more entries to the record books. Norway, playing their first match since the World Cup quarterfinals, once again look like a team no defense in Europe wants to face, and with their captain in this mood, the Nations League suddenly feels like his personal playground.
It's worth noting that the scariest thing about Haaland is the routine of it all. A brace on a Thursday night in September barely raises an eyebrow anymore, because this is simply what he does. At this pace, every remaining international record is a matter of when, not if.
