I feel great responsibility to bring Norway to the World Cup. I said this for many years. It's a lot on my shoulders and that's what I've been working to do ever since I came into the national team in 2019.
"Now we're this close, we can... I don't know if you want to call it history, or whatever you want to say. Norway has never qualified when I've been alive, which is a really big thing for me and to be able to do this. Again, I'll do everything I can to make it happen," he added.
It was previously reported that Haaland has tied France national team forward Kylian Mbappe in goals scored for their respective national teams, while playing in half as many matches.
