Erling Haaland
Model Anastasia Kostromitina went viral for her resemblance with Erling Haaland

Erling Haaland has emerged as one of the most talked-about football stars at the ongoing World Cup, with his pace, power and goal-scoring ability helping Norway make a strong impact in the tournament.

The Norwegian striker is now set to feature in a crucial quarter-final clash against England, a match that could further extend Norway’s remarkable run.

However, Haaland is grabbing global attention not only for his performances on the pitch but also for an unexpected reason — a Russian model’s uncanny resemblance to the football superstar.

Model Anastasia Kostromitina went viral after sharing a reel in which she recreated Haaland’s expressions and signature celebrations. The video quickly spread across social media platforms, leaving fans stunned by the resemblance.

Internet users flooded the comment section with jokes, reactions and playful comparisons.

One user wrote, “You are my favourite girl Haaland.”

Another asked, “Are they brothers???”

A third user commented, “I don’t know how to feel because you pull off every look so similarly, but I don’t find Haaland attractive. You are very beautiful and attractive, yet you look so much like him when posing.”
