Erling Haaland, who has made a name for himself this season through his performances for both RB Salzburg and Dortmund, was at the receiving end of taunts and mocks from PSG players following the win, as they mimicked his famous zen celebration after the victory was confirmed.
Mbappe and co mocking Haaland’s celebration.
Might be jumping the gun a bit here, but I wouldn’t mind if this turns into the next generation’s Messi vs. CR7 rivalry.

The players did the move once again in the dressing room with Mbappe sharing the act on his social media.

This however, has not gone down well with a certain section of the fans who have blasted them for what is being perceived as a classless act against someone who is still a teenager.
PSG scrutinised for mocking Erling Haaland following UCL win over Dortmund
The entire squad doing this shows how huge Haaland is and how small time PSG still are tbh. Young lad scores a goal against them and does his celebration, so an entire team assembled for hundreds of millions of pounds does it back to him. Small club mentality. https://t.co/9qvNRAXKMS

Can’t wait for the next round when Haaland posts an image of him doing this just after PSG are knocked out in tears… https://t.co/AVTPPoUUKF

PSG players acting like they won the UCL trolling Haaland over and over again over the yoga pose tells you a lot about a lack of class in victory. These players are ultimately mercenaries with a Manager that doesn’t have much control of the ship at the end of the day.

If I was Haaland, I’d love this. Yes his team went out but he’s 19 and living rent free in these players minds, including the two most expensive players of all time.
Pretty weird this from PSG 😂 pic.twitter.com/CaG7EOlLI6

Bit pathetic this. Haaland is just 19-years-old and he’s living rent free in grown men heads. https://t.co/vwLMMZLbYu

Erling Haaland’s brilliant debut Champions League season has finally come to an end with 10 goals to his name at the age of just 19. The fans and the player himself will hope that there are many more to come in the future.
