Since the beginning of the season, the Norwegian striker has had a hand in 35 goals, including 32 goals and 3 assists. For the national team, Haaland has scored 11 goals in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers since the 2025/26 season started, making a great contribution to helping Norway qualify for the World Cup after 27 years of waiting.
At Man City, Haaland also played explosively with 19 goals in 15 matches, including 11 goals in the Premier League. The 25-year-old striker is aiming to break the record of 36 goals in a Premier League season set by himself last season.
However, Haaland's impressive performance in the early stages of this season is still not the best in the history of European football. According to Transfermarkt statistics, considering the period from August 1 to November 18, Haaland is only third, behind Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Messi tops the list with 40 goal contributions (25 goals, 15 assists) in the 2011/12 season for Barcelona and Argentina. Cristiano Ronaldo is second with 36 goals for Real Madrid and Portugal in the 2013/14 season.
The combination of speed, power and accurate finishing ability makes Haaland a nightmare for any defense. If he maintains his current form, the Norwegian international can completely reach the level of legends like Messi or Ronaldo in modern football history.
