Erling Haaland might not have had much of an impact on last night’s Champions League semi-final first leg between his side, Manchester City, and Real Madrid but his dad, Alfie, certainly did.
The original Haaland was allegedly escorted out of his VIP box in the Bernabeu following an altercation with some Real Madrid fans seated below him and the rest of his son’s friends and family.
Accounts on what exactly happened differ, with Spanish media claiming that Alfie made lewd gestures towards the fans and threw peanuts at them, while the former City captain took to Twitter to give his view on things, saying “Ok. RM was not happy we were celebrating KDB goal. Other than that we had to move because RM fans not happy with 1-1”
Take a look at the clip below of Haaland Senior exiting his box.
Alfie’s son Erling had one of his quietest games of the season, with his only real chance being snuffed out with brilliant defending from David Alaba.
One would suspect he will have something to say next week when the teams meet again with a place in the Champions League final on the line.
