Erling Haaland Delights Fan by Responding to Seven Year Old Prediction

After the unexpected online moment between Erling Haaland and a long time supporter, the story quickly became one of the most heartwarming highlights on Tribuna. The incident dates back to a tweet from 23 September 2018, when graphic designer Fredrik spotted an eighteen year old striker scoring freely in the Norwegian top division. At the time, he urged others to “remember the name: Erling Braut Haland.” Seven years later, that early prediction turned out to be remarkably accurate. 

Haaland surprised everyone by revisiting the old post and replying with the simple line, “I remember this name.” The message instantly sent Fredrik into disbelief, as he later described it as his most surreal moment on social media. For a fan who had followed Haaland from his teenage breakthrough to global superstardom, receiving a direct response from the forward felt extraordinary.
