Norway striker Erling Haaland has equalled a storied goalscoring record held by German football legend Gerd Müller, reaching the milestone during his nation’s 3-1 UEFA Nations League victory over Wales.

Haaland sealed the triumph by netting Norway’s third goal of the match, taking his international tally to an astonishing 66 goals in just 60 appearances. No European player since Der Bomber himself had matched that ruthless scoring rate at the international level—a benchmark long considered virtually untouchable.

Already Norway’s all-time leading goalscorer since making his senior debut in 2019, the 26-year-old forward continues to rewrite the record books at an unprecedented pace. Should he maintain anything close to his current trajectory, Haaland is well-positioned not only to surpass the 100-goal barrier for his country, but also to mount a genuine challenge to Cristiano Ronaldo’s all-time men's international scoring record of 146 goals.
