Erling Haaland has reflected on his performances after Norway's World Cup quarter-final exit to England. The Manchester City forward scored seven goals in five matches during Norway's first appearance at the tournament since 1998.
Norway striker Erling Haaland said the experience has changed him after his side lost 2-1 to England in Miami. Jude Bellingham scored twice for England in the match.
Haaland told reporters that the tournament had grown his profile and left him feeling immense pride. He highlighted Norway's unity and their victory over Brazil during the group stage.
"These things are surreal; I think this has changed me as a person," Haaland said. He added that the team proved it could compete with top sides and aims to maintain those standards at future tournaments.
England kept Haaland quiet in the quarter-final. The forward expressed a desire for more opportunities in major events ahead.
