Before joining Manchester City in 2022, Haaland spent an extraordinary season with Dortmund, scoring 86 goals in 89 games for his former club. The player talked about his Dortmund career in an interview with TNT Sports.

"I won the DFB-Pokal there, and it felt great. I think my first month at Dortmund was probably the best month of my career. Before the epidemic, playing in a packed Westfalenstadion and playing as a new player, that feeling was really special."

"I have also become more mature in Dortmund, and the club has taught me a lot. Not only in football, but also in the way of life. I still keep in touch with many people there. Including the staff. I had a great time there and every time I think about it, I smile. "Throughout the history of Dortmund, many excellent players have been produced here. For me, joining Dortmund is a perfect choice. When I talked to them, they expressed their hope to cultivate me and reuse me. After all, it is based on trust. They trust young players and give us the opportunity to prove ourselves. This is a wise choice."
