Despite an alarming start to the match for the Parisian fans against Aston Villa, the level demonstration displayed during the first period seems to have seduced a renowned attacker, Erling Haaland. Paris Saint-Germain qualified for a fourth semi-final of the Champions League in the last six editions, despite a defeat outside that left a feeling of anxiety. This victory, although achieved in difficult conditions, has delighted fans and even attracted new fans, testifying to the club’s constant attractiveness on the European stage.
Manchester City player Erling Haaland did not hide his admiration for Paris performance, relaying an image of the team’s second goal to his Snapchat account. This message, “So good PSG”, quickly went around social networks, stressing the rarity of seeing such important football figures openly express their appreciation for direct competitors. This unexpected reaction highlights the impact of the Paris service, even beyond the borders of the capital.
In a complex sporting context for Manchester City, it is hoped that Erling Haaland will not be negatively influenced by the mixed performance of Paris Saint-Germain. This public admiration, although anecdotal, nevertheless raises the question of the potential influence of this moment on the motivation and ambitions of the Norwegian player in the top 5 race of the Premier League.
