- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
Manchester City and Norway striker Erling Haaland has received four official certificates from Guinness World Records. The 26 year old athlete was presented with the awards at the Etihad Stadium. Two of the records were set in the Premier League: reaching 100 league goals in a record 111 games and scoring 36 goals in a single season. Haaland also holds the record for the most goals scored in the UEFA Nations League with 19 goals. Additionally, he shares a record with Lionel Messi and Luiz Adriano for scoring five goals in a single Champions League match, a feat achieved against RB Leipzig on March 14, 2023. One source noted that Haaland gained approximately 24 million Instagram followers during the 2026 World Cup and mentioned an upcoming FA Community Shield final against Arsenal on August 16.
