Erling Haaland on qualifying for the 2026 World Cup: this is the beginning of something big for Norway 0 14

The Norwegian team secured their place in the final stage of the tournament after defeating the Italian national team 4-1 in the final match of the qualifying round away from home.

"I am happy, but I feel even more relieved. There is a huge weight of responsibility, but it is fun. We found the key and improved individually. Players like Nusa and Bobb, who is now starting for Man City, have noticeably progressed. I feel that this is the beginning of something big.

The fact that we can come here and win 4-1 shows how unpredictable we are. And that’s great, let everyone know," said Haaland, according to UEFA's press service.
