Recently, the Norwegian goal machine gave fans a glimpse of his life outside of the football pitch.

The 25-year-old was seen running through his daily routine, which included cooking, physio sessions and a trip to buy essential food products.
During a trip to the shops, Haaland was seen buying raw, unpasteurised milk.
The striker labelled raw milk as a 'super food' that he feels is 'good for the stomach, good for the skin, the bones and muscles'.
When speaking about his love for coffee, Haaland said: "Coffee is a super food in my eyes - if you do it right.
"Why? Depends on the quality, when you drink it, and of course how. I'm into my coffee. It needs a little bit of [raw] milk in - super food as well, I think."
According to the BBC, sources close to the City man stated that Haaland 'drinks one glass every morning and another after training - a ritual that has been a part of his life for as long as he can remember'.
However, raw milk cannot be bought in shops or supermarkets but can be sold by 'registered raw drinking milk production farms, at registered farmers' markets, and by distributors with milk-round vehicles'. Meanwhile, raw milk is banned in Scotland.
The Food Standards Agency's deputy director of policy Natasha Smith said: "Raw milk may contain food poisoning bacteria, so there are extra checks and hygiene standards for raw drinking milk producers.
"While these stricter controls aim to help make sure it's safer and support consumer choice, it's important to remember vulnerable people should avoid it."
Meanwhile, Former City academy nutritionist Dan Richardson added: "The challenge with raw milk is that you can get some companies who do a good job in reducing the risk factor to bacteria, and I am sure Haaland will be using the premium quality available out there.
"A nutritionist is not going to allow him to buy raw milk that has a high risk of contamination. When people begin to copy these dietary habits, it can become unsafe as people will go out and buy the cheapest and most accessible version that may carry the food-borne illnesses."
