He can catch up with Cristiano Ronaldo at the age of 29. Why is Haaland so lucky?

In the European group stage of the World Cup preliminaries, Norway defeated Israel with 5 goals at home. Haaland scored 3 goals in this campaign and 8 goals in the past two games.

In the past 12 World Cup qualifying games, Haaland has scored 17 goals, only 22 goals away from Ronaldo's World Cup scoring record (39 goals). He has scored 51 goals in 46 games in his national team career. Considering Haaland's age (25 years old), the Norwegian high center is likely to catch up with Ronaldo's record in the next World Cup qualifiers (29 years old).

With the expansion of the World Cup, the number of places in the European region has also increased. The "flattened" grouping situation has made the situation of strong and weak within the group very prominent. In terms of Norway's strength, they have at least 6 games (facing the bottom three) in the group stage to crush their opponents. These are good opportunities for Haaland to set a new record.
