When the Young Boys player asked for a shirt immediately following the first half, with the visitors leading Man City by two goals, Haaland abruptly shook his head.

At the fourth Group G Champions League match at Etihad Stadium, an unbelievable incident occurred. Mohamed Ali Camara, a midfielder for Young Boys, requested a shirt change as he was coming out of the tunnel at halftime, maybe because he was so desperate to acquire Haaland’s shirt.

Even though Haaland was obviously taken aback by the circumstances, he grudgingly removed his shirt and handed it to his opponent while shaking his head. Raphael Wicky, the head coach of the visiting squad, expressed his amazement after hearing the news and promised to speak with his players.

After the game, it is rather common for players to switch clothes. Given that the home team was losing, Mohamed Ali Camara’s recommendation to Haaland just before halftime sparked debate and even criticism. It didn’t seem to bother Pep Guardiola because Man City’s victory goes as planned and that’s what matters most.

Erling Haaland had a fantastic game last night, scoring the first goal from 11 meters out in the first half and then scorching the opposition net in the opening minutes of the second half. Pep Guardiola had to state this objective. Following the game, “it was amazing.”

It was Phil Foden who signed his name on the electronic scoreboard after Man City’s last goal. With the English star’s flawless handling, it was also a stunning goal.

With a 3-0 victory and 12 absolute points, Man City qualified for the Champions League round of 16 ahead of schedule.

Less positive news, meanwhile, for the defending champions came when John Stones was forced off the field following the first half.
