The 22 Norwegian international is obviously in the picture and has been trending all day after a masterpiece performance in their preseason fixture.
Erling Haaland made a sudden, unexpected entrance at Manchester City. On a night when Lambeau Field’s first-ever soccer game was postponed due to spectacular thunderstorms, Haaland needed just 11 minutes of his debut to score.
After Haaland’s striking finish play was postponed for another hour as the weather continued to be violent.
After being connected with by Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish deftly created some room for himself on the left, and when he crossed low, Haaland slid in the direct and finished skillfully past Manuel Neuer.
Interestingly, Haaland’s goal happened to be the only difference between the two European sides.
In a game that was shortened to 80 minutes, the Norwegian thought he had scored again just before halftime, but an offside flag was raised after he had put an emphatic finish on Bernardo Silva’s cushioned volley.
