Erling Haaland is simply unstoppable. The Norwegian goal machine once again proves why he is one of the most dominant forwards in world football. With 33 goal contributions already this season, 30 goals and 3 assists, and we are only in November, Haaland is showing that he is not here for one season or one moment; he is here to rule and dominate this era of football. The 25-year-old Manchester City striker has already broken multiple records, and we are still just one-fourth into the league campaign.

Haaland has already scored 55 goals in 48 appearances for Norway, surpassing Wayne Rooney’s 53-goal record for England, and he also broke Cristiano Ronaldo’s World Cup qualification record of 15 goals in 2018 by scoring 16. He has even scored more goals on his own 19 than the entire Brazil national team has managed in 2025, which scored only 17.
Chasing the Legends: Messi, Ronaldo, and Beyond
Across club and country this season, Haaland has scored 32 goals in 20 matches, averaging 1.6 goals per game, and at this pace, he could easily end the season with 65 to 70 goals. With 332 career goals already at just 25 years old, it is clear he is chasing the legendary records set by Messi, Ronaldo, and others. The way he is playing, dominating, and breaking history in real time, there is no doubt he will continue climbing toward becoming one of the greatest forwards the sport has ever seen.
