A video circulating on social media involving Erling Haaland and Marc Cucurella has got people talking.
An incident that occurred during Chelsea’s season opener against defending champions Manchester City had Haaland getting his revenge on Cucurella in the most brutal way.
Sports Buddy previously reported that Cucurella took a jibe at Haaland during Spain’s Euro 2024 celebratory ceremony. The 26-year-old left-back was captured in a video singing a fan song about himself drinking Estrella and mocking Erling Haaland.
But Halaand got his own pound of flesh in their 2-0 win against the Blues, where he bodied the Spanish defender to slot the ball past a helpless Robert Sanchez.
As if that wasn’t enough, the greater revenge manifested when Cucurella, lying helplessly on the floor after being struck by cramp, begged Haaland for help, who was closest to him.
However, the Norwegian striker walked past unconcerned, leaving the Chelsea man in severe pain.
Fans react after Erling Haaland’s snub
Haaland’s gesture, captured in a video posted by DxBruyneszn on X, prompted reactions from fans who wasted no time referencing Cucurella’s Euro 2024 jibe.
One wrote, ”Haaland just remembered Cucu’s celebration chants when he won the EUROS.”
Another commented, ”Haaland don’t care.”
While a third commented, ”he deserves that tbf.”

Erling Haaland, last season’s top goal scorer, having already opened his account for the campaign against the Blues, will be looking to score many more goals as he aims to lead the Cityzens to an unprecedented fifth consecutive Premier League title.
