Despite Bellingham's goal-scoring record, which Haaland believes is sometimes unfairly criticized, the Norwegian striker defended his former teammate. "I have said it so many times: We had a lot of fun together!" Haaland remarked. "I am not surprised that he scores two goals today and delivers as he does. Sometimes he gets a little too much criticism because he doesn't score enough goals. I don't think he deserves it, because in my opinion, he is one of the best in the world."

Haaland, speaking after a challenging match himself, still managed to smile and reflect positively on his own experiences in the USA. He emphasized Bellingham's talent and contribution to the game, highlighting their past camaraderie at Dortmund.
