Borussia Dortmund striking sensation, Erling Haaland, has opened up on what he likes best about Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portugues is a five-time winner of football's most prestigious individual award, the Ballon d'Or, winner and Haaland draws inspirations from his winning mentality.

During an interview with ESPN, Haaland who watched Ronaldo while growing up said:

"You could just see it in Ronaldo's face that 'today I'm the man' and 'today, I will score goals' and that's what he did."

"That's what I like the best, how dedicated and hungry they are to succeed and to be the man in the moment."

On his incredible start to life at Bundesliga outfit Dortmund, Haaland added: "It's been a very good start and from my debut I've been enjoying it a lot and smiling a lot and these kinds of things and that's what's the most important about my life, to smile a lot and these kind of things. So, yeah, that's what I try to do the most.

"I feel I'm improving every day and now that I play with even better team-mates than what I played with in Salzburg – all respect to Salzburg – but yeah, they can find me in even better situations and this, so yeah it's been good. It's been a good first months."

The 19-year-old striker scored 28 goals in all competitions for Salzburg this term before joining Dortmund in January, netting another 12 in just 11 appearances prior to the coronavirus pandemic.
