The Norwegian goal machine is obsessed by the Champions League but he may have to move to play in it next season
Even for a man who is making racing through his footballing to-do list his calling card, it was an abrupt exit. It was “exactly 14 seconds after the full-time whistle”, noted Bild’s Mirko Frank and Jörg Weiler, that Erling Braut Haaland was in the tunnel at Köln’s Rhein-Energie Stadion, tired of the gloomy scenario that his own last-minute equaliser had done little to alleviate.
The sense of Borussia Dortmund’s talisman having his patience stretched had been bobbing to the surface for much of the afternoon. Once again he had done the necessary, opening the scoring early on to suggest a tranquil Saturday afternoon stroll against one of the weakest sides in the division, and repeating the feat right at the end to save a point after Dortmund’s stumble from the path into tangled undergrowth in between had threatened to leave them spending the international window plucking thorns out of their hides.
