Erling Haaland is a hit for his debut with Dortmund. - Ina FASSBENDER / AFP

In a 2019-2020 season without any shadow whatsoever (Neymar was not injured, no delay of players after the Christmas truce, unbeaten in C1 this season, etc.) PSG had to tremble a little less than a month from the knockout round of the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund (February 18). Freshly recruited by the Borussens, the Norwegian striker Erling Haaland has been dirty since arriving from Salzburg this winter.

There, in a year, the young player has earned a reputation for killer surfaces with, hang on, 27 goals scored in 29 games played. We have known more yucky statistics! But the big question was whether Haaland would quickly adapt to a larger club. The least we can say is that the fans of the BVB were quickly reassured.

⏳ So yes, #Haaland needs time to adapt to the game of #Dortmund.

For his first match, the Norwegian came into play in Augsburg in the 56th minute and simply smashed a hat-trick in 20 short minutes (59th, 70th and 79th). Friday evening, rebelote with an entry into play at the 65th minute against Cologne and two new pawns registered in nine minutes (78th and 87th). Which gives us a total of five goals scored in ... 59 minutes. And to say that his coach, the former Niçois Lucien Favre, had asked the media for time before judging the phenomenon!
