Erling Haaland's striking new look: the reactions of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Pep Guardiola and Noel Gallagher
The Manchester City striker took advantage of the start of the new season and showed off his new look. He received amusing reactions from the world of football.
Erling showed off his new look and got some amusing reactions. He left behind his trademark blond mane and opted for a much shorter haircut, a transformation that quickly became one of the most talked-about topics among fans.
The Norwegian footballer documented the entire process through a seven-minute vlog published on his YouTube channel and unveiled his new short-haired look on social media on Sunday, accompanied by the comment: "New season, new haircut."
Erling Haaland is sporting a new haircut, getting rid of his iconic blond mane and opting for a much shorter cut, a transformation that quickly became one of the most talked-about topics among fans.
Once the haircut was finished, Haaland started making video calls to show his new look to various figures connected to Manchester City . One of the first was Noel Gallagher , a renowned musician from Oasis and a well-known fan of the English club. Upon seeing the footballer, Gallagher burst out laughing and assured him that he looked much younger.
The reaction of Zlatan Ibrahimovic also did not go unnoticed. When Haaland showed him his new look, the former Swedish striker asked him if he had lost a bet and described the decision as genuine madness. Zlatan 's response made even more sense because, in the past, he had advised Haaland not to cut his hair, referring to the importance of his characteristic mane.
Pep Guardiola also received a call from the striker. The Spanish coach was surprised to see the transformation and reacted with humor. Guardiola took advantage of the situation to joke with Haaland and about his own lack of hair, noting that the Norwegian was lucky to still have hair and that he would like to be in that situation.

In the final stretch of the match, Manchester City finally managed to equalize. Marc Guehi appeared completely unmarked at a corner kick and headed the 1-1 into the back of the net.
Deep into stoppage time, the Citizens ended up taking the victory. After a great move by Rayan Cherki, Josko Gvardiol received the ball inside the box. He finished with his right foot, the weaker one, into the far post: 2-1.
