Haaland: something I never dreamed of has happened; it feels unreal

After helping eliminate Brazil 2-1 in the FIFA World Cup round of 16, Norwegian striker Haaland was interviewed by beIN SPORTS.

Erling, you did it. This is an incredible moment, isn’t it?

Yes. I never dreamed of anything like this, and then it just happened. It's hard to put into words because it feels so unreal.

What was the key to today’s win?

I think, first and foremost, it was the pressure and how we dealt with it. This was truly a big game. In Norway, we have 5.5 million people celebrating this match, and they all expect us to win, so we tried to enjoy the moment. I think you could see that in how we controlled the ball and played. That's it.

You've scored 7 goals in this tournament, including two today. There's a rivalry between you, Mbappé, and Messi. How do you feel you're performing?

Yes, it has been very interesting so far. Messi is performing at his highest level, and so is Mbappé. As I said before, I think France will win. To be honest, it is an interesting rivalry. I am happy to be here and to be able to perform well in the games again and again.
