Erling Haaland humiliates Euro 2024 star: 'His hamstrings are trembling'

Erling Haaland and Manchester City started their Premier League title defence perfectly, beating Enzo Maresca's Chelsea 2-0, with Haaland grabbing the first.

Despite scoring a goal and leading City to their first victory of the season, Haaland's post-match interview was mainly about Marc Cucurella, who he described as a "Funny man," report.

After Spain's victory over England in the Euro 2024 final, Cucurella created headlines for singing: "Cucu, Cucurella, he eats paella, Cucu, Cucurella he drinks Estrella, Haaland you'd better tremble as Cucurella is coming."

The Manchester City striker had the first game of the season to respond to the song, and in the 78th minute, he got him back.

The Spanish fullback needed help when he went down with a cramp at Stamford Bridge, and instead of helping, Haaland walked right past him, leaving the defender in more agony.

Eventually, Chelsea's new signing, Pedro Neto, came to the rescue for Cucurella, but fans on social media were quick to spot the pettiness of Haaland.

According to the SportBible website, one fan wrote: "Cucurella got cooked and got a taste of his own medicine," while another posted: "Cucurella's hamstrings are trembling."

The Manchester City striker was quick to comment on the song sung at Euros and spoke about the contrasting differences between the player from last season to this season.

According to Viaplay Football, Haaland said: "Well, Cucurella is a funny man. Last season, he asked for my shirt, and this summer, he sings a song about me."

His goal against Chelsea was his 91st in 100 games for Manchester City. For every defender, it's a lesson learned not to tempt fire with the greatest goalscorer of this generation.
