Mushaga Bakenga has experienced both the glamorous and brutal sides of the world of football. As a precocious striker with unique goal-scoring skills, he was accepted into the stable of Rosenborg and the Norwegian U21 national team at the age of 17. He was proclaimed one of the country's greatest talents. Thus began a fantastic career in major international clubs, but also hard encounters with the cynicism and extreme pressure in top football - and with the racism that still lives in Norwegian society.
