Erling Haaland has offered the perfect response to Marc Cucurella’s jibe in their first Premier League meeting of the season.
The defending EPL champions eased to a 2-0 victory away at Cucurella’s Chelsea as Manchester City delivered a brutal top-flight lesson to Enzo Maresca.
Haaland opened the scoring for City in London with his fifth goal from three opening day appearances in English football.
His goal came about following a mix up in the Blues defence and the Norwegian easily swatted Cucurella aside to fire home.
At full time, Haaland was asked about Cucurella’s antics, after he appeared to mock him during Spain’s Euro 2024 celebrations.
Cucurella’s ‘Haaland tremble’ song always seemed likely to come back to haunt him and Haaland was ready with a put down.

“Cucurella is a funny man. Last season he asked for my shirt and this summer he sings a song about me”, he said after the game.
