Haaland says Rosario grabbed his bum: “Interesting to see that…” | OneFootball

The match between FC Porto and Manchester City was marked by several heated moments, including an incident deep into stoppage time near the Porto penalty area. Erling Haaland and Pablo Rosario got involved in a verbal exchange that prompted several players to step in and ended with both receiving a yellow card. However, according to the Norwegian striker, there was one detail that was not caught by the cameras.

“I was really eager to get my hat-trick, but he [Pablo Rosario] also seemed very eager to stop me from getting it. It was an interesting moment. You can see the footage of him grabbing my butt. It will be interesting to see that image,” the striker told Norwegian broadcaster TV2.

In the same interview, Haaland also revealed that he fine-tuned his aerial game with the help of his father, former striker Alf Inge, during a training session held two days ago in the backyard of their home. “Over the years, I’ve worked a lot on my heading. I’ve improved enormously, and it has become one of my strengths. I think a big part of that is down to experience.”
