In Barcelona, it was just a charity friendly match to support people who suffer from the incurable disease ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), which was also diagnosed two years ago to former Barcelona goalkeeper Juan Carlos Unzue.
Manchester City was still losing at 2:3, but in the 99th minute a penalty was kicked after a tackle on Haaland, from which Riyad Mahriz equalized to make it 3:3.
However, repeated footage of the incriminated situation showed that it was probably not an operation at all. Haaland collapsed to the ground after almost minimal contact with former Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen.
The Norwegian forward is receiving a lot of flak from fans on social media for his fall.
