After a picture of ERLING HAALAND having a breakdown went viral, rival supporters turned him into a meme.
The striker lost his cool as referee Simon Hooper signaled a foul in the final minute of Tottenham’s match rather than letting play continue and Jack Grealish get in on goal.
A photo of Erling Haaland’s incensed face went viral on social media
Fans quickly turned the Manchester CIty striker into a meme
One fan superimposed Haaland’s face onto a famous Real Housewives meme
Another transformed the Norwegian into Edvard Munch’s ‘The Scream’
After the game concluded in a 3-3 draw, a furious Haaland confronted the referee and then questioned the call on Twitter.
After the game, Haaland quickly took to social media to express his frustrations, but by then, he had become a meme.
A picture of his angry face went viral fast, and sly fans started layering it over well-known pieces of art and pre-existing memes.
Haaland’s face was pasted by one fan to Edvard Munch’s well-known artwork “The Scream,” and another fan morphed his likeness into a controversial meme from the reality TV series “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
Haaland was turned into Kevin McCallister from Home Alone
He was also compared to a woman who went on a tirade on board an American Airlines flight this year
One person put Haaland’s face over Kevin McCallister’s from Home Alone to get into the holiday spirit, while another person recreated a well-known internet meme from earlier this year that featured a woman who gained notoriety for her loudmouth antics on an American Airlines flight.
Seeing the humor in the Scream meme, Haaland commented, “WTF that made me smile for the first time today?”
Haaland, 23, may face an FA charge as a result of his behavior toward the referee.
The striker lost his cool with Hooper and yelled obscenities at Giovani Lo Celso when the Spurs forward bumped into him at full-time before making his way out of the Etihad tunnel.
Later, Haaland shared a video of the incident on Twitter with the comment, “WTF,” which might get him in trouble with the FA.
However, Pep Guardiola bit his tongue and responded, “Next question,” after his team gave up a goal in the ninetieth minute. I won’t comment on Mikel Arteta.
Sometimes, when I’m on the touchline, I become crazy and make inappropriate motions. However, I’ve been a manager here for a long time, so I’m not one to make comments.
It shocked me since you could still whistle at that exact instant when Erling fell.
However, he gets up and carries on, and the referee signals for everyone to “play on, play on” at that very moment.
“And Erling ends the game after making the pass.”
