MANCHESTER CITY superstar Erling Haaland jokingly revealed the secret behind his stunning goalscoring success this season.
Haaland is the Premier League’s top scorer so far this term with a staggering 30 goals and five assists in 27 appearances.
And the striker took to Twitter where he posed with two bottles of what he described as his “magic potion”.
But it turns out it’s only a couple of milk bottles, a healthy drink the Norway international appears to have introduced to his diet.
Haaland tweeted: “Me and my magic potion.”
Fans flooded the comments’ section to join in on all the fun and some got very creative.
One fan tweeted: “Is it GOAT milk?”
Another commented: “Is this what you drink for a healthier hair?”
A third wrote: “That’s why I was never great at Football… I absolutely hate plain milk….”
This fan posted: “Raw milk power.”
And that one said: “Please give some to Kai Havertz.”
So, there you have it – milk is what’s powering Haaland this season!
He remains on course to break the Premier League record for the amount of goals scored in a single season.
Haaland scored during City’s 3-0 triumph against Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals.
That took the Norwegian sensation’s total tally to 45 goals and six assists in 39 appearances across all competitions.
Pep Guardiola spoke glowingly of his star man as he compared him to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Speaking after Man City’s victory at St Mary’s, he said: “In terms of the thesis of scoring goals. He’s quite similar in terms of Cristiano but Messi is the more complete player. Messi can play wherever while Cristano and Erling are machines. Erling knows those two guys dominated over two decades not just one or two seasons, winning titles and doing everything.
“Football is a better place for Cristano and Messi for what they have done for our business, the traction of these two guys competing at the big clubs.”
Guardiola added: “Erling is arriving in the toughest league in the world. I can talk as I’ve been in other leagues and doing what he has done is remarkable.
“Erling is here for these types of games, it was a little bit hard but he has the ability from an incredible assist from Kevin [De Bruyne] to break the game.”
How many goals will Haaland finish on this season? Let us know.
