Pep Guardiola is no stranger to a suffocatingly intense post-match debrief and the Man City boss was locked in a passionate exchange with Erling Haaland after his side's late win. City rescued three points against Leeds at the Etihad with a late Phil Foden winner sparing their blushes after the hosts had squandered a two-goal lead. It was a rare outing that Haaland failed to find the back of the net and the Norwegian striker was clearly annoyed at full-time.

The star has not played for Italy since the last European Championship‚ where they crashed out in the round of 16 to Switzerland despite going into the tournament as reigning champions. The 28-year-old was one of Italy's key men when they won Euro 2020 under the management of Roberto Mancini‚ but again rejected his most-recent call-up to the national team. Gattuso said he snubbed the call as he hinted at the player dealing with 'problems' in a press conference ahead of his side's crunch ties against Norway and Moldova‚ which they lost 4-1 and won 2-0 respectively.

Social media has gone into meltdown over the latest haircut of an international team-mate of Manchester City striker Erling Haaland. Haaland‚ 25‚ added two goals to his unfathomable tally for the season as Norway sealed their spot in the 2026 World Cup with an impressive 4-1 victory over Italy on Sunday. However‚ it was his compatriot who stole the show on the night‚ but not due to his performance on the pitch. The Borussia Dortmund right-back instead caught the eye because of the unique hairstyle he was sporting at the San Siro.
