Haaland continues his rich form with Norway
Haaland and his teammates are currently on international duty. The star forward continued his stunning form against Cyprus in Euro 2024 qualifier, scoring two goals in Tuesday's 3-1 win. Haaland scored a goal against Scotland on Saturday, but it wasn't enough to get his team over the finish line.
The 22-year-old was instrumental in City's historic treble-winning season. The Premier League club joined Manchester United as the second English team to win the English Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League. Haaland has scored 52 goals in 53 appearances across all competitions for the Sky Blues.
City players celebrated by parading in Manchester, showcasing their trophies to fans. Haaland's viral video showed him enjoying an ice cream from an ice cream van.
City midfielder Jack Grealish said he could not sleep for a few days since the Champions League final victory over Inter Milan. His father, Kevin Grealish, said the team spent £47,000 on a night of celebrations at the Etihad’s premier hospitality suite, the Tunnel Club.
