Erling Haaland is currently one of the best soccer players right now. He has scored 22 goals across all competitions for Manchester City so far this season. Many expected Haaland to have a tough time in the Premier League but it seems like he has settled in extremely well. Amid the rounds he has been making online, his rumored cousin Albert Braut Haaland has also been doing the same.

However, the real story is that his name is Albert Tjaland, but many have created memes around the name “Albert Braut Haaland” and have spread his name across the internet. The main reason for that would be to suit Erling’s full name; Erling Braut Haaland.

Many have used the name to spread the news about “Erling Haaland’s cousin”, who has reportedly scored 64 goals in just 37 matches. Although it sounds quite unbelievable, Twitter users have capitalized on that to come up with some hilarious memes. One even tweeted an image of the UK’s former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Another account posted an image of a soccer player from a movie named “Goal”. The actor in the image was Kuno Becker and the character’s name in the film was “Santiago Munez” who played for Newcastle in the English Premier League.
Is Albert Braut Haaland related to Erling Haaland?
The two players are not related to each other in any way. It seems like the name “Albert Braut Haaland” is a character that the internet hilariously created. However, we may take it that Albert Tjaland, Erling’s real cousin, was the inspiration behind it. One of the tweets surrounding the same is when a fan posted a video of a soccer player scoring a ridiculous volley.

The real story behind the meme is that Albert Tjaland scored a high number of goals for his team. The official and confirmed number of goals he has scored are still unknown to the world.
According to various reports, Tjaland has scored many goals for his youth teams. For the Molde senior team, he has only managed to get on the scoresheet once. Molde, which is also Erling Haaland’s former team, played against Spjelkavik IL in the Norwegian Cup. Tjaland scored after coming on as a substitute with just 10 minutes to go.
