As in the 2023 Champions League final, Erling Haaland was silenced by Francesco Acerbi on Wednesday evening. What followed was a unique sequence between the two men.
Manchester City and Inter Milan played out a goalless draw on Wednesday night in the opening matchday of the Champions League. Erling Haaland was unable to find the back of the net, well muzzled by Francesco Acerbi.
After the game, the 36-year-old central defender asked the Norwegian striker if he could give him his jersey. “You want my jersey? But you pulled it the whole game,” the “cyborg” then replied, laughing out loud.
Haaland, Acerbi’s bluff
“I asked Haaland for the shirt but he didn’t give it to me. I’m joking,” the Inter player then confirmed on social networks. He even tried to get two copies. The former Borussia Dortmund player gave a scathing response: “Two? Fuck off!”
In the 2023 Champions League final, between Manchester City and Inter Milan, Erling Haaland had already been held in check by the same central defender. From the start of this match, Acerbi had set the tone with a big stamp on the Leeds native. Which did not prevent the English club from winning (1-0) to win the first Champions League in its history.
