Haaland, the viral sequence

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland became a meme after losing his cool during his team’s 3-3 draw against Tottenham on Sunday.

Erling Haaland did not like the refereeing decision taken at the end of the match between Manchester City and Tottenham (3-3), Sunday in the Premier League.

The Norwegian international was furious that referee Simon Hooper called a foul after giving the lead in his favor, even though he had just thrown through teammate Jack Grealish.

The 2023 Ballon d’Or runner-up protested to the referee and later expressed his frustration by posting a video of the incident on Twitter, writing: “WTF”.

At the same time, the photo of the European goleador screaming his anger quickly made the rounds on social networks before becoming a meme, in particular thanks to some fans, who began to superimpose it on famous works of art and other memes.

One fan added the face of Skyblues number 9 to Edvard Munch’s ‘The Scream’ painting – while another added it to the meme from reality TV show ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ “. Which amused the former Borussia Dortmund player, who responded by declaring:“ Wtf, that made me smile for the first time today. »
