Haaland scores 66 goals in 60 senior internationals.

Haaland’s 88th-minute penalty made it 3–1 in Norway’s win over Wales, taking his senior-international tally to 66 in 60 appearances. There’s a wrinkle in the historical comparison: Stats Foot says Gerd Müller scored his 66th international goal in his 59th match, then played his 60th without scoring. Haaland reached 66 within his first 60 appearances, but not at the exact same point. Stats Foot also reports that, among players with at least 20 goals in both senior internationals and the Champions League, he is the only one averaging more than a goal per game in both. UEFA statistics cited in the report put him at 61 Champions League goals in 60 matches.
