Erling Haaland posted a heartfelt farewell to the US on social media, sharing a relaxed airplane selfie captioned, “Goodbye. It's been emotional!” The post caps off Norway's memorable 2026 World Cup run on American soil, where the striker shone brightly by netting seven goals across five matches.
Haaland’s stellar performance carried Norway deep into the tournament, culminating in a high-stakes quarterfinal thriller down in Miami. Though their campaign ended in a narrow defeat to England, it marked the nation's deepest World Cup run in decades.
Dressed for the long flight home, Haaland kept his travel outfit effortlessly casual. He tucked his signature long blonde hair beneath a backward cap, pairing it with striking red sunglasses. A sleek black jacket adorned with the Norwegian flag and official team sponsors completed his look as he headed back to Europe ahead of the club pre-season.
