Jude Bellingham showed his friendship with Erling Haaland despite England eliminating Norway from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, leaving a heartfelt comment on the striker’s emotional Instagram post following the quarterfinal.

England defeated Norway 2-1 to book a place in the FIFA World Cup semifinals. Bellingham scored both England goals, while Haaland was unable to add to his tally after being closely marked throughout the match.

Following Norway’s exit, Haaland thanked supporters on Instagram for backing the team during its memorable World Cup campaign. The Manchester City striker described the tournament as “special” and expressed his appreciation to Norwegian fans after the country’s best World Cup run in decades.

Among the thousands of comments on the post, Bellingham’s message quickly attracted attention. The England midfielder wrote, “Love ya brusjan.” The Norwegian word “brusjan” translates to “brother,” reflecting the close friendship the pair have maintained since their time together at Borussia Dortmund.

The interaction quickly spread across social media, with fans praising the respect shared between the two players despite competing against each other in one of the biggest matches of the tournament.

For the unversed, Bellingham and Haaland spent more than two seasons together at Borussia Dortmund before moving to Real Madrid and Manchester City, respectively. Their friendship has remained visible during Champions League meetings and international competitions, with the pair often greeting each other warmly before and after matches.

Jude Bellingham continued his outstanding World Cup campaign with another decisive performance against Norway. His brace followed two goals in England’s 3-2 Round of 16 victory over Mexico, taking his tournament total to six goals despite playing in midfield.

England’s defensive plan also limited Haaland’s influence after the striker entered the quarterfinal with seven goals. Although he did not score against England, Haaland finished the tournament as one of its leading scorers, trailing only Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi, who each have eight goals.

Norway’s run to the quarterfinal marked the nation’s deepest FIFA World Cup campaign since returning to the tournament for the first time since 1998. Haaland played a central role in that achievement with seven goals across the competition.

England will now face Argentina in the FIFA World Cup semifinal, with Bellingham aiming to continue his strong form as the Three Lions pursue a place in the final.
