ERLING HAALAND has released a hilarious picture of himself sleeping next to the Champions League match ball – and fans are all saying the same thing.
The formidable Norwegian striker managed to outdo himself on Tuesday night as he put five past RB Leipzig.
His goal haul contributed to Manchester City’s incredible 7-0 second-leg Champions League victory, leaving the game at a staggering 8-1 scoreline on aggregate.
And Haaland has posted a snap reflecting on his European heroics with an Instagram picture that supporters absolutely loved.
The 22-year-old can be seen seemingly asleep on his sofa after his exhausting night at the Etihad.
He is draped in a large green blanket to cover his giant body with with his eyes shut tight.
But the star has his right hand wrapped around Tuesday night’s Champions League ball, which anyone who scores three goals or more is allowed to take home.
Haaland captions the picture “afternoon nap” with a yawning emoji.
Fans had very similar takes on the photo as they reflected on the forward’s superhuman goalscoring powers.
One said: “Software update” and added a robot emoji.
Another said simply: “Recharging.”
While another added: “Charging the batteries.”
Others pointed out the picture’s similarity to Lionel Messi’s famous post-World Cup snap the morning after Argentina won the incredible final against France in December.
With only Burnley left to play in the FA Cup before the international break, Haaland will be licking his lips at the prospect of adding to his ridiculous numbers.
He has 39 goals in 34 games in all competitions this season.
