A funny video has surfaced on social media showing Erling Haaland, a player for Manchester City, having an amusing encounter with Phil Foden’s son.
The Manchester City team has been in a celebratory mood after achieving a historic treble in the 2022/23 season, including winning the club’s first-ever Champions League trophy.
During the celebrations, Phil Foden’s son, Ronnie, approached Haaland while he was holding the Champions League trophy. The video has gained popularity online due to its lighthearted and humorous nature.
Quite innocently, the little Ronnie can be heard telling Haaaland , “I thought you were a girl!”, a statement which clearly caught the Norwegian striker off guard.
The young lad then briefly plays with the Champions League trophy before getting called back to join his dad.
