At just 20 years old, he became an outstanding scorer in Borussia Dortmund to the point that both Barcelona and Real Madrid noticed him to sign him in the next transfer market.

I want to improve every day. Ronaldo and Messi... I don't need to talk about them, they are the best of all time. They are still very far away, so to speak. somehow", he said.

Haaland also referred to the incident last weekend at the end of the match against Colonia (2-2), when he threw down the shirt requested by Spanish Jorge Meré. "I don't know if you noticed when I left the field, but I was quite angry. It was a wrong reaction to throw the shirt, I'm sorry. I was not able to control myself, I was very angry", Haaland said, referring to his discomfort at the tie.
