Haaland Calls Messi 'Madman' After World Cup Hat-Trick
During the opening match of the FIFA World Cup, Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick, leading the Argentina National Team to a 3-0 victory against Algeria. Following this performance, Norwegian forward Erling Haaland expressed his admiration for Messi by calling him a "madman" in a Snapchat story.
This remark came just hours after Haaland made his debut for the Norway National Team, where he contributed to a 4-1 victory over Iraq by scoring two goals at the 29th and 43rd minutes. Messi's exceptional performance also allowed him to equal Miroslav Klose's record for the most goals scored in World Cup history, becoming the tournament's all-time leading goalscorer.
