(VIDEO) He promised to celebrate like Drogba, what Haaland did after scoring in Champions League

Manchester City faces Young Boys in a match where the English club arrived as favorites and with clear options to win to ensure their qualification to the next round. However, one of the possible absences that the English team had was that of Erling Haaland, who left the previous match due to an injury. Despite this, coach Pep Guardiola trusted the forward for this match.

Erling Haaland trained normally this Monday and was available for the Champions League match against Young Boys in which Pep Guardiola's men can seal their place in the round of 16. The Norwegian was substituted at half-time in the 6-1 win against Bournemouth with an ankle problem. In the match, Erling Haaland is being the great figure, he already has two goals in the match, and the tally could increase in a match full of chances.

At the 2023 Ballon d'Or gala, a curious moment took place when Didier Drogba presented the award to Haaland for striker of the year. At this ceremony, the Chelsea FC legend told the Norwegian that he wanted to celebrate like him when he scored his next goal, something that Haaland promised. In this UEFA Champions League match, Haaland was able to score and fulfilled his promise.

Then, in the second half, he made it 3-0 with a surprising left-footed shot from outside the area. The rival goalkeeper gave his all, but was unable to clear the ball. In this way, Erling reached 43 goals in 41 games in international competitions (39 in the European Cup and 4 in the UEFA Cup); while the PSG scorer has 42 goals in 66 games (all of his goals were in the European Cup).
