Norway striker, Erling Haaland, said his side’s 2-1 victory over Brazil in the last 16 of the World Cup on Sunday was something he had “never dreamed of.”
Haaland scored both goals as Norway reached the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time, taking his tournament tally to seven — level with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé in the race for the Golden Boot.
“I couldn’t quite believe it because I never dreamed of this in my life.
“I dreamed of playing in the World Cup with Norway and helping them qualify for the World Cup, but I never expected to beat Brazil. Let’s be honest, I thought it wasn’t possible, but I guess I was wrong,” Haaland said.
Norway maintained their remarkable unbeaten record against the five-time world champions, with three wins and two draws in five meetings.
They will face England in Miami on July 11 for a place in the semi-finals.
