Erling Haaland Gets Revenge on Marc Cucurella After Chelsea Defender’s ‘Tremble’ Dig

Manchester City’s star striker Erling Haaland had the last laugh over Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella after their team’s 2-0 win. The Norwegian marksman blanked Cucurella when the Chelsea defender asked for his help to stretch out a cramp during the game.

Earlier, Cucurella had sung a song that directly referenced Haaland, whose Norway did not qualify for Euro 2024. The Chelsea defender and his teammates sang, “Haaland, you’d better tremble, Cucurella is coming.” However, it was Haaland who ultimately had the upper hand.

Haaland managed to hold off the Chelsea defender en route to scoring City’s first goal of the afternoon at Stamford Bridge. But it was a moment in the second half when Cucurella really could have done with his rival’s assistance.

The Spaniard dropped down to the turf and was wincing in pain having suffered cramp. He then looked up to Haaland for assistance to help him stretch it out. Instead, the Norwegian simply walked away as Cucurella’s teammates came over to help him.

Haaland also touched on his rival’s summer song in a post-match interview with Viaplay but seemed reluctant to stick the boot in.

“It was an interesting song, that, from that guy [Cucurella],” Haaland said. “There’s not that much to say. I don’t really think about that. He can do what he wants.”

Although Haaland may have been reluctant to speak any more on Cucurella, he did take a swipe at Chelsea’s skipper, Enzo Fernandez.

The Argentinian lined up in Chelsea’s midfield but struggled to make a significant impact on the pitch. Haaland took aim at Fernandez over his tough tackling, but also insinuated it wasn’t just the skipper who engaged in rough tactics.

“All the time he [Fernandez] stamps on me, he pushes me and everything, not only him,” Haaland told Match of the Day. “I don’t know what they want but that’s what they do I guess.”
