Since joining the German Giants in 2020, Haaland quickly became one of the club's most prolific goalscorers.
In 89 appearances he netted 86 times while also recording 23 assists.
And to say thank you for his service to the club, Borussia Dortmund organised a pre-match presentation where they handed him a bouquet of yellow flowers along with a picture which reads 'Danke Erling'.
