Al-Saleh Sport: A new era in football.. Haaland threatens the throne of Cristiano Ronaldo

Norwegian star Erling Haaland stands out as an exceptional phenomenon in football, at a time when many believed that the era of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi would not be repeated.

Haaland has proven that he is an exceptional talent, since his remarkable start with Molde, through his brilliance with Salzburg, to his amazing performances with Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City.

Haaland led Manchester City to achieve the historic treble in the 2022/23 season, scoring 52 goals in 53 matches.

The Norwegian star broke records in the Champions League, becoming the youngest and fastest player to reach 40 goals in the tournament, threatening Ronaldo’s record of 140 goals.

On the international level, Haaland shines with the Norway national team, where he scored 38 goals in 39 matches, an average of 0.97 goals per match, surpassing his country’s record at a young age.

Despite the challenges facing the Norwegian national team, Haaland may become a real threat to Ronaldo’s achievements, especially if Norway continues to develop and gives its star more international opportunities.

On the other hand, Cristiano continues to strengthen his historical record as the best international scorer with 135 goals, while achieving amazing achievements such as scoring 900 goals in his career.
