Erling Haaland marked his first game as Norway captain by becoming his country's all-time leading scorer — then appeared to indicate he will soon become a father.
The Manchester City striker scored in the seventh and 62nd minutes of Norway's 3-0 win over Slovenia in the Nations League on Thursday to move onto 34 international goals.
That's one more than the late Jorgen Juve on Norway's list of record scorers. Juve, on 33 goals, held the record since the 1930s.
"I'm proud," Haaland was quoted as telling Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet. "It is a record that has stood for a long time."
The 24-year-old Haaland, who has played only 36 games for Norway, posted a picture on X of himself sucking his left thumb and with a ball under his jersey. Above the picture were baby and "coming soon" emojis.
