“Any Ball He Touches…Can Be a Goal” – As Erling Haaland Ends Goal Drought With a New Record, 26YO Spanish Star Warns Teammates Ahead of Norway Clash

Erling Haaland showcased an emphatic impact in Euro qualifier games after scoring blank in domestic fixtures. The Norwegian star reached a new pinnacle in his career after netting a brace against Cyprus in the previous qualification game. On this note, a Spanish star highlighted the potential threat the Citizens’ starlet can pose in the attacking third as they face Norway in the upcoming fixture.

Spain is just a win away to secure qualification for Euro 2024 in Germany. The only obstacle that lies ahead is Norway on this Sunday. Meanwhile, FIFA’s 43rd-ranked team faces a challenging task ahead, as a defeat in this game could pave the way for Scotland in the final round. The Dortmund star’s outstanding performance is the sole beacon of hope that Norway relies on to clinch a win against La Roja.

What did the rival goalkeeper remark about Erling Haaland?

Unai Simon, the Spanish star, emphasizes the importance of restricting Haland’s chances and keeping him away from the penalty box. The Norwegian maestro is renowned for his exceptional finishing, as well as capitalizing on the goal-scoring opportunities. Consequently, the 26-year-old goalkeeper cautioned his teammates to bolster their defense against Haaland’s threat in this crucial fixture.

The Athletic Club goalkeeper said in an interview, “Haaland is decisive. Any ball he touches on the box can be a goal. You have to make sure he is far away.”

Apparently, Erling Haaland was absent from the previous fixture due to injury concerns where Spain thrashed his national squad with three goals. This forthcoming match presents an opportunity for the Sky Blues forward to seek redemption following a record-breaking performance in the previous game.

Achieving new heights with Norway

The ex-Dortmund forward is the second youngest player to reach this pinnacle after Lukas Podolski, leading the pack. Haaland’s illustrious performance undoubtedly serves as a valuable preparation for the upcoming Group A match against La Roja.
