Forget Olise, Mbappé & Yamal - Should Erling Haaland be Considered the Most Valuable Player in the World?
Norway have made history by progressing to the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time, defeating Brazil in the round of 16. Erling Haaland's clinical finishing proved pivotal, as he scored a well-placed header in the 79th minute and a shot from outside the box in the dying minutes of the game. Despite a late penalty from Neymar, Brazil were unable to overcome the deficit.
Haaland's performance has set up a quarter-final showdown with England, a team he is familiar with, having played against their defenders in the Premier League. The match will also be a battle for the Golden Boot, with Haaland currently sitting on seven goals in four games, just ahead of England's Harry Kane, who has six goals in five games.
The World Cup is shaping up to be a defining moment in Haaland's career, with the Norway star entering the competition as one of the most valuable players in the world, with a market value of €200 million. His continued success could push his value above other top contenders, including Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal. Norway's historic run will continue on July 11, when they face England in the quarter-finals.
