Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has surpassed Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s international goals tally and moved level with Didier Drogba after taking his Norway total to 65 goals.
Haaland reached the landmark after scoring in Norway’s 2-1 defeat to Portugal on Sunday, having earlier scored twice in their 3-2 Nations League victory over Denmark.
The 26-year-old now has 65 goals in 57 appearances for Norway, moving beyond Ibrahimovic’s 62 goals for Sweden and level with former Ivory Coast striker Drogba’s 65 international goals.
Haaland had already moved past Ibrahimovic and Brazil legend Ronaldo, both of whom scored 62 international goals, with his brace against Denmark.
According to the Premier League on Tuesday, Haaland has also established himself as the leading scorer in UEFA Nations League history, with 22 goals since the competition began in 2018.
His latest international goals have come during a prolific start to the 2026/27 season.
