🍔 After international win: Haaland treats teammates to burgers | OneFootball

On Thursday, Norway won 4-1 against Estonia in the World Cup qualifiers – and captain Erling Haaland rewarded his teammates for this success in a culinary way. As reported by the newspaper ‘The Sun’ and seen in several videos and photos on social media, Haaland was spotted with "almost 70 cheeseburgers" after the victory, which he received from a delivery service and apparently distributed among the Norwegian national players.

A cool gesture that was met with much approval. Fulham midfielder Sander Berge was also on the field against Estonia and was visibly pleased with the burger reward afterward. He told the Norwegian TV channel ‘TV2’: “That’s a strong performance from the captain!”

The mood among the Norwegians seems to be excellent – and there is every reason for it. With the recent qualifying victory, Norway extended its perfect record to seven wins in seven games and remains at the top of the group standings. And Haaland himself certainly earned the burgers: he scored twice in the second half against Estonia.

Norway’s participation in the World Cup is not officially confirmed yet, but it seems that not much can go wrong. As long as coach Ståle Solbakken's team doesn’t lose to Italy by a nine-goal difference, the final tournament next year in the USA, Canada, and Mexico is secure. For the Scandinavians, participation would be a real milestone: they last appeared in a World Cup in 1998.

A slight delay in the celebrations is not too dramatic – and who knows what culinary highlight City star Haaland will come up with for his teammates after the final qualification.
