Erling Haaland sprint: Overnight meme?
With 39 goals in just 29 appearances, Erling Haaland has already established himself as one of the best strikers this season. However, Haaland is not making the rounds of the internet for his goalscoring exploits. It's rather for his incredible sprint against PSG.
During the first half of the match, Haaland stunned practically everybody in the stadium with his impressive pace to get from one end of the pitch to the other. After the game, it was reported that Erling Haaland completed 60 metres in just 6.64 seconds.
The 60-metre world record is currently held by US sprinter Christian Coleman. He covered the distance in 6.34 seconds.
Norwegian outlet TV 2 Sport found the perfect way to celebrate their prodigy's recent feat by turning Haaland into a meme (literally). The hilarious video posted by the Norwegian broadcasters saw Haaland challenging and even beating Usain Bolt. Haaland even gets to challenge young Forrest Gump (a fictional character) in a one-on-one race.
