Despite the fact that he was unable to play a part in Manchester City's Club World Cup triumph, Erling Haaland is rarely out of the headlines. He himself made sure of that through the nice Christmas greeting image he shared on his Instagram: dressed as Santa Claus.
A very recurrent snapshot at this time of year, there are more than a few footballers who have decided to dress up in the typical red suit to send good wishes on Christmas Day. What happens is that the Norwegian's picture has a trick: it is generated by an Artificial Intelligence.
So, in addition to a slightly older face and a more Nordic-looking outfit, the picture shows him posing with the Champions League trophy he won a few months ago and the competition ball in the other. Nevertheless, he did write the greeting: "Ho, ho, ho. Christmas is here! Hope you can enjoy it with your loved ones".
On a more serious note, in a second real image, Haaland appears with the five trophies he has won in 2023 with Manchester City: Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup, European Super Cup and Club World Cup.
