‘Played 67 games last season FYI’: Erling Haaland posts tired selfie after demanding campaign More on Tribuna.com: https://tribuna.com/en/blogs/played-67-games-last-season-fyi-erling-haaland-posts-tired-s/?utm_source=copy
Erling Haaland has posted a close-up Snapchat selfie with a slightly blank expression and the caption “Played 67 games last season FYI.”
The story, shared on 3 August, appears to be a light-hearted response to fans noticing he has been quieter than usual or looking exhausted.
A reply from one user asking “Why is ur brain fried” added to the typical unfiltered banter that surrounds the Manchester City striker’s social media activity.
Haaland has long used Snapchat for deadpan, self-deprecating content.
The Norwegian is currently completing his mandatory post-World Cup rest after an outstanding tournament.
He scored seven goals in five appearances for Norway, including braces against Iraq and Senegal and two late goals that eliminated Brazil in the Round of 16.
Norway reached the quarter-finals before losing to England. Haaland did not travel with City on their Asia pre-season tour under new manager Enzo Maresca.
He is expected to rejoin the squad shortly and is most likely to make his first appearance of the season in the Community Shield against Arsenal on 16 August or the Premier League opener at home to Bournemouth on 23 August.
Fans have reacted with amusement and affection to the selfie, praising his honesty about the heavy workload and expressing excitement that the goalscorer is back in the conversation.
The post is classic Haaland — acknowledging the physical and mental toll of a long season while remaining characteristically low-key and meme-friendly.
