Haaland revealed her wound when showing off her shoes
After the match for round 32 of the Premier League drew 1-1 at Brighton Stadium, Haaland showed off his new shoes on Instagram Story with the message "Like these shoes" and two fire icons. However, what fans noticed were three lacerations on the right leg, one of which was very large and seemed to still be bleeding in the copper tube.
Previously, the Norwegian striker also revealed many bruises and scratches on his body due to collisions with midfielder Yerry Mina in the 3-0 win at Everton on May 14. After the referee blew the final whistle, coach Pep Guardiola immediately entered the field and taught Mina.
British newspaper Sunsport said that many Man City fans are worried about Haaland's health and want the player to rest in the closing match against Brentford after winning the Premier League. They want the 22-year-old striker to keep his strength for two important matches against Man Utd in the FA Cup final at Wembley on June 3 and Inter Milan in the Champions League final in Istanbul, Turkey on June 10.
After the reserve match against Chelsea, Haaland returned to the starting line-up and played the full 90 minutes of the 1-1 draw at Brighton on May 24. The Norwegian striker touched the ball 32 times, accurately passed 61% with two key passes and contributed one assist.
In the 25th minute, Haaland escaped to the face but did not finish but passed Phil Foden to open the scoring. However, the 22-year-old striker had a bad day when he missed two delicious opportunities, including a close-to-the-bar header and a face-to-face phase with goalkeeper Jason Steele.
In the 79th minute, Haaland headed home Brighton from Cole Palmer's cross, then went to the corner to celebrate with his teammates. However, after reviewing the situation on the advice of VAR, referee Simon Hooper denied the goal because Haaland pulled the shirt of central defender Levi Colwill. Off the field, coach Pep Guardiola reacted violently and received a yellow card.
Despite the low, Haaland still equaled the record of goals and assists in a Premier League season of the legendary Thierry Henry. Specifically, Haaland contributed to 44 goals this season, including 36 goals and eight assists. Twenty years ago in the 2002-2003 season, Henry set a record of 44 goals, with 20 goals and 24 assists. Haaland also has the last round to meet Brentford on May 28 to monopolize this record.
