Haaland Claims Porto's Rosario 'Grabbed My Bottom' in Champions League Clash

Erling Haaland has claimed Pablo Rosario 'grabbed my bottom' during Manchester City's 2-0 win against Porto, an incident that led to both players being booked.

  • Erling Haaland claims Pablo Rosario 'grabbed my bottom' in the 92nd minute of Manchester City's 2-0 win at Porto.
  • Both Haaland and Rosario were booked after grappling and going to ground.
  • Haaland scored both of Manchester City's goals in the match.

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has claimed that Porto's Pablo Rosario 'grabbed my bottom' during Tuesday's 2-0 Champions League victory. The incident, which Haaland described as 'a little interesting', occurred in the 92nd minute of the match.

Haaland, who scored both of City's goals, and Rosario grappled and went to ground before being separated. Both players subsequently received bookings.

The match also saw other flashpoints, including a bust-up near the tunnel at half-time involving players and staff. Images reportedly showed Rúben Dias placing a hand on what appeared to be Porto head coach Francesco Farioli. UEFA will await the referee's and delegate's match reports before deciding on any potential action against Dias or Manchester City.

Haaland also revealed that his 47th-minute header, which opened the scoring, was a result of recent practice with his father, Alf Inge. The 26-year-old forward also concurred with manager Enzo Maresca that he may need a break soon, citing the demanding schedule.
