Isabel Johansen shows off new hairstyle as Erling Haaland shaves his head | OneFootball

Isabel Haugseng Johansen unveiled a shoulder-length cut on social media, echoing boyfriend Erling Haaland’s dramatic buzz ahead of Manchester City’s Premier League opener against Bournemouth at the Etihad. According to Goal.com, the 22-year-old shared the look just hours before kick-off.

The change did not bring an immediate goal for the City striker, who drew a blank as teammates Marc Guehi and Joško Gvardiol overturned a one-goal deficit for a late 2-1 win.

Johansen captioned her Instagram gallery as a small refresh for autumn. Her update coincided with Haaland ditching his Viking-style mane for a close crop, documented that morning with a short new-season message.

A video on Haaland’s YouTube channel captured Johansen’s first reaction, initial surprise giving way to approval as she said the look suited him, while noting it could take time to adjust after years of long hair.

Haaland said he wanted a clean slate for 2026-27 and had considered the change after starring for Norway at the 2026 World Cup. He admitted nerves after Zlatan Ibrahimovic warned him not to cut it, invoking Samson, but pressed ahead and later posted a carefree short-hair line on Instagram.

City next visit Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on 28 August, when Haaland will try to open his account for the season.
