Manchester City scoring machine Erling Haaland was asked to change his shirt after just 45 minutes of play in the Champions League match against Young Boys.
Haaland scored twice in Manchester City’s 3-0 victory over Young Boys to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
The striker also swapped shirts at half-time with Young Boys captain Mohamed Ali Camara, although he appeared very reluctant to do so. Haaland was heard saying “you can’t do that” before putting on his famous No. 9 jersey.

Commentators criticized Camara for his early request. Former Rangers striker Ally McCoist said on TNT Sports: “ I absolutely do not agree. It’s embarassing.
Young Boys manager Raphael Wicky didn’t seem impressed either and promised to speak to his player about the incident. “I haven’t seen that, it’s news to me. I’m a little bit surprised. On the other hand, I don’t think it has anything to do with the match, but I’ll talk to him about it. Maybe Erling asked him, he added. “ Ultimately I don’t think it has anything to do with performance, but I will discuss it with the player.
