ERLING HAALAND has been crowned UEFA Player of the Year 22/23
Erling Halland , a 22 years of age who is a Norwegian and a player for Manchester City in the English Premier League has achieved one of his biggest dream in his football career following a massive success and performance for club and country.
Haaland could not stop scoring in his first season at City, with an impressive 12 in the Champions League – four more than his nearest challenger, Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah – and became only the third player to score five in a game. He added a record-breaking 36 in the Premier League, a tally that included four hat-tricks.
The Norwegian star also became the youngest and quickest player to make it to 35 Champions League goals in total, and picked up his – and his club’s – first winners’ medal in the competition to go with the ones he collected as City won the domestic double.
