Erling Haaland Keeps Zen-Like Attitude Amid Global Breakout

DUSSELDORF, Germany (AP) – Everyone is going crazy for Erling Haaland's goals. Except Erling Haaland.

The 19-year-old Norwegian seems utterly relaxed after scoring twice as Borussia Dortmund beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday.

He celebrated one goal in a meditation-style pose borrowed from Liverpool forward and yoga fan Mohamed Salah.

''ZENsational win,'' Haaland posted on Instagram alongside a picture of his celebration.

His post-game comments were modest, almost absurdly so for a player who had just beaten the likes of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

''I know that I have a lot to improve and you saw that today,'' he said.
