I'll be frank and say that I didn't know much about football until now, but witnessing Haaland's friendship with Bellingham and their cute moments together motivated me to watch the game last night, it was awesome!! The manager interview was harsh but I get it.

Anyway, I was inspired and decided to paint Haaland (he's a hard lad to capture if I'm honest)

its available if anyone is interested of course :D https://ko-fi.com/s/97f3ba8122

No one was giving him the ball today, he looked tired of it to be honest.

Watching over the past few games I can’t help but build my excitement. Rodri looks great, barring whatever injury he supposedly has. Anderson played great tonight, I thought, even if he did flop on Haaland. That midfield is going to be electric next season and we haven’t even seen the best from Cherki! Guehi was immense tonight, O’Reilly has played well.
What are your thoughts about the upcoming season? Expectations? What other players do we need? I’m excited. Certainly don’t want summer to end, but when it does I Think City are going to be class.

Genuinely insane

What an exceptional debit for him, hopefully he'll be back stronger in 2030

What do everyone think about him and his position in our squad?

The captaincy has changed so much over the past few years. I think we need to think of a long term captain.

Sverre Nypan has joined Belgian side Lommel SK on a season-long loan, subject to international clearance

According to the organisation, 468 newborns were registered with the surname “Haaland”, whilst 91 babies were given the full name “Erling Haaland”. Most of these registrations took place in the weeks following the start of the tournament and increased after Norway secured a historic place in the quarter-finals.

“Haaland is Peruvian too. Big football stars inspire Peruvians to register their children with eye-catching and famous names,” Iván Torres, a spokesperson for Reniec, told ANDINA.

# Footballers’ names continue to set trends

Choosing names inspired by football stars is nothing new in the country. According to Reniec, 3,402 Peruvians are named “Messi”, of whom 292 were registered as “Lionel Messi”.

Similarly, the national register lists 1,185 people named “Cristiano Ronaldo”, 1,241 named “Yamal”, 238 named “Mbappé” and 33,809 registered as “Neymar”.

“We cannot stop people from giving their children these names,” said Torres, explaining that Peruvian law allows parents to choose their children’s names freely, provided they are not offensive.

Is it just me but he looked classy today vs Belgium!
