22 national team games contributed 21 goals Haaland set a record


In one of the focus games in the fifth round of Group D of the UEFA Nations League , Norway, who played away, scored a goal with Manchester City star Haaland, but was eventually reversed by Slovenia 2-1. However, the 22-year-old Norwegian genius Haaland has scored 21 goals in 22 national team matches.


Norway is currently in the group standings with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and Serbia has 10 points, so Norway can be promoted if they win the next round of competition. In addition, Norway scored a total of 7 goals in this tournament, of which Haaland contributed 6 goals and 1 assist, which means that Haaland directly participated in all the team's goals.


Haaland is currently the top scorer in the UEFA Nations League with 6 goals, while the newly-promoted Fulham center Mitrovic ranks second with 5 goals.


In addition, Haaland has scored 21 goals in 22 national team matches, directly becoming the player who has set this number in more than half a century. The last time to have such a remarkable performance in the national team can be traced back to the 1970s, when Italian international Luigi Riva scored 22 goals in 22 games.


After joining the Premier League giants Manchester City, Haaland has contributed 11 goals in 7 league games, including two hat-tricks.
