Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has shed light on how Norwegian media covers him when he fails to score in a match. The 23-year-old has earned a reputation as one of Europe’s most prolific goal-scorers.

In a recent interview with The Telegraph, Haaland discussed the Norwegian media’s approach to reporting his goalless performances. He remarked, “Norwegian media when I don’t score: Goalless! That’s the headline. That’s how it is. It’s a good thing. I am not complaining at all, but also, I signed for City to score goals. So, it was also a bit expected – maybe not so many! – but I am still the one who is going to get the ball in the back of the net.”

Haaland’s incredible record of 52 goals in 53 appearances across all competitions for City last season has made games in which he doesn’t score noteworthy for Norwegian media. On the international stage, he has scored 25 goals in 26 appearances for Norway, showcasing his ability to be a deadly striker for both his club and country.

The fact that Haaland isn’t bothered by this focused and distinctive media coverage should reassure Manchester City supporters that their star striker remains unwavering in his commitment to becoming a top goal-scorer for the team. If he continues to find the back of the net consistently, he will significantly enhance City’s chances of winning more titles in the future.
