Erling Haaland was not in a good mood after Manchester City’s disappointing draw with Inter Milan in the Champions League.
The match, which was held at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening, ended in a goalless draw in the league stage of the continental championship.
The Norwegian international has scored 9 goals in 4 Premier League games this season and was hoping to score his 100th goal for Manchester City yesterday.
Francesco Acerbi and his defensive partner Alessandro Bastoni helped to restrict the Norwegian goal machine, and after the final whistle the 36-year-old veteran went straight to a frustrated Haaland.
The two players shook hands before engaging in a discussion for a while and appeared to be talking about exchanging shirts, with each player pulling the other’s shirt.
Acerbi was seen raising two fingers, indicating, according to The Sun, that he wanted to receive two shirts from the Norwegian as a souvenir.
Acerbi faced the Norwegian in the 2023 Champions League final in Istanbul, with the Citizens winning with a goal from Rodri.

Many fans thought Haaland responded to the Italian’s gesture by saying “Two? Go to hell” before both players burst into laughter at the striker’s sarcastic outburst.
One fan commented on the incident, saying: “Did Acerbi just ask Haaland for two shirts? Haaland told him: Go to hell?”
“Acerbi 36 has Haaland in his pocket bro,” said another. “Haaland couldn’t pass the Acerbi test again,” commented a third.
