Widening of the brow, protruding forehead, widening of the jaw. It can also make one's face stay puffy and swollen. He could just be ugly, as was pointed out.

I'm not disputing the theory, but using facial features as a basis to speculate about steroid use is something I haven't encountered as a football fan yet. He certainly is a strange looking fella.
It's his facial features coupled with his insane growth spurt and his currently 6'5" frame.
I don't think he looks weird or even ugly.
As someone else pointed out there's an actor on the Netflix show "Ragnarok" that looks exactly like him
Look at this picture, dude. Haaland's face looks like it's made out of wood or something
.
I cant be the only one that thinks discussing peoples facial features while mocking their appearance like highschoolers more than a bit tacky?
Aye, it's pretty shitty. It seems to be normalised when talking about certain players, but it's not cool. We saw that it affected Luke Chadwick, when he came out relatively recently and said so.
I can't imagine Haaland gives a feck, mind, but still.
Or, he looks like his facial features have been altered by steroid use.
Why don’t you just name some players who scored more in Europe at his age then. I’m quite calm, buddy, just stating facts.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
I mean he hasn't even broken the PL record yet, let alone when you factor in pre PL or other leagues. I'm on record as saying that he has phenomenal numbers (which is pretty obvious). Your statement is a complete exaggeration however.
It clearly says at his age, doesn’t it?
R9? Messi? CR7?
He is not physically good looking, but not that it matters, he doesn't need to.
He is a very famous person and rich, the admiration that he might cause in many women who watch football, will make these women find Haaland very attractive, wether or not he is handsome.
Mbappe doesn't need to do defensive duties.
They just lost at home to Rennes. Maybe he should.
Neymar literally ghosted last year's against Madrid in the second leg, and the year before against City.
His best run is the year where the CL knockout was played in 1 leg.

No he shouldn't.
Haaland doesn't do it either, and he is mostly likely a finisher which means he isn't on the ball he is even more invisible than Mbappe.
Can we cut it with this dumb bullshit?
Well, they didn’t score at the rate Haaland is or has been doing the last 4 seasons when they were 22, not even R9.
Indeed they did not.
But they were still better players than Haaland at the same age.
How did Neymar ghost last year against Madrid when he was the one who kept putting Mbappe through on goal in that second leg?
Likewise he had a very good performance against Bayern in 2021
And PSG's best CL run was the result of him carrying them against Dortmund and Atalanta.
R9 had over 200 goals for club and country by the time he was 23 so I'm not sure what you mean. The other 2 started scoring prolifically later but by age 23/24 they were scoring more than Haaland is now so I'm not sure again how you figure.
Haaland's career NPG/90 ratio is higher than Ronado's NPG/90 in his peak season
And only one of Messi's seasons (12/13) beats Haaland's 22/23 NPG/90 ratio
Or please get more excited? troylocker made a factual post and that was your reaction. Sometimes greatness happens before your eyes and you only look back at it years later.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6821090/ Read up, buttercup.
I'm asking if Haaland has used, or is rumored to have used, steroids. It's a real thing in sports. It results in facial features like Haaland's, whether you think he's beautiful or not is irrelevant.
His dad was the same way.
You havent seen his family, have you sweetheart?
Stop being so biased, Mbappe was clearly the only PSG attacker who showed up last season against RM for those with eyes that can see. Scored on both occasions, got a penalty that Messi missed and let's not act like he also didn't carry them the previous season against Barca(while Neymar was busy celebrating his sister's bday) he scored a hattrick+1goal and went on to score 2 more goals against Bayern that knocked them out.
Provide the figures and the sources
I've seen Maradona and Messi, I'm not going to get excited by Haaland FFS. But I'm not anti-Haaland at all, I was recently rubbishing someone's opinion on here about Kane being better.
On course for 50 at least this season, makes you wonder where United would be in the table if we had a prolific striker this season.
We've only managed 11 goals between Martial, Ronaldo and Weighorst.

Eh?
Mbappe just went goaless out of the CL while PSG went struggling. Same last night to.
Its exactly those types of games you need to show up. Haaland scores against everyone. Even when he plays at the lesser sides. Haaland is a machine.
His face has looked the same since he was a kid and nothing about his physique suggests use of anabolic steroids. He would have had to have started juicing before his professional debut if anabolic steroids is why he looks as he does, which would very likely have prevented him from reaching 6'5".
Now, can we cut it with this dumb bullshit?
So I just read the study. If you had, you would know that the findings do not support your argument for the case of a competitor in athletics, and the paper also clearly states important distinctions between longevity, mass, actual impact in relation to the test group and another secret factor that I wont reveal as I want you to actually have to read it as well instead of coming here having read through a brief summary after a 3 second google search to support your ridiculous hypothesis.
Further, going as far as using childish domination techniques against a poster to underline your claim is borderline threadban worthy.
Please do not compare Haaland's big game ability with Mbappe's. At least not yet. Only if he helps to win City the CL this season does that even become a discussion. I think he can do it but we've got to see it first. Apart from his World Cup heroics, Mbappe has scored at every major stadium in Europe during his career thus far.
He been scoring against big teams since he came to Austria. Even then he scored against everyone in the CL.
