With his cold killer gaze and mover's physique, we almost missed him.
Erling Haaland, in any case, was quick to remember our fond memories.
Absent from the field since October 19 and a Champions League match lost on the lawn of Ajax Amsterdam (4-0), the Norwegian cyborg made his return with Borussia Dortmund, on the occasion of the 13th day of the Bundesliga (Borussia victory 1-3).
He had been on the floor from a thigh muscle injury, which also caused him to miss the last World Cup qualifying where, without him, Norway were eliminated.

Just seconds after entering the game, and after making a murmur of excitement rustle through the spans of the Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg, the 21-year-old Scandinavian striker had already placed a strike from the right on his first touch of the ball.
We felt then eager for a goal, he who had not scored since a double during the 8th day against Mainz (3-1).
Already ten goals in ... seven league games
After six missed championship games, Haaland only needed eight short minutes to regain his accuracy in his favorite exercise, that of surface killer.
Well helped by the laxity of the opposing defense, it is true, the number 9 of Borussia relaxed at full length on a cross from Julian Brandt, and put the ball at the bottom of an acrobatic gesture in full extension.
A “kung-fu” goal that Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a specialist in the field, would not have denied.

His tenth goal of the season in seven Bundesliga games, confirming, if there was any further need, that the Norwegian is a phenomenon.
And that he is already ready to play one of the peaks of the season in Germany: the eagerly awaited “Klassiker” between the top two in the standings, Saturday, December 4 between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich.
