Erling Haaland has “self-inflicted calamity” because of what he caused right after scoring 5 goals against RB Leipzig.
Manchester City star Erling Haaland was apparently seen using his mobile phone while driving near the Etihad Stadium. The Norwegian scorer looks down at his smartphone in his lap while at the wheel on a two-way lane in the New Islington area of Manchester.
Photos published by The Sun appear to show him holding the device while driving his £300,000 Rolls Royce Cullinan. The source also said this incident took place in early March after an impressive performance of five Champions League goals against RB Leipzig at the Etihad to help his team secure a place in the last eight of the tournament.
The striker’s actions were heavily criticized by an eyewitness, who warned that using a mobile phone while driving could have dangerous consequences for both him and those around him.
“Erling has barely made a mistake since he moved to City. But he needs to pay more attention to the road when driving and needs to obey the law when driving,” this person said.
“It was a silly mistake but could endanger him and other road users. The last thing Man City fans want is for him to have a collision that keeps him out of the race. fight”.
In the UK, motorists caught using a mobile phone while driving will face severe penalties, including a £200 fine and a six point demerit on their driving licence. Similarly, in Norway, Haaland’s home country, it is also illegal for motorists to use their device while operating a vehicle.
Haaland originally left City to join his team-mates for the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Spain and Georgia, but was forced to return to his club due to a groin injury. Therefore, the possibility of him participating in Man City’s upcoming blockbuster clash with Liverpool is open.
