Haaland Gives Cucurella a Taste of His Own Medicine After Ignoring Chelsea Defender’s Plea for Help
In a stunning turn of events, Erling Haaland left many stunned when he ignored Marc Cucurella’s plea for help after the Chelsea defender went down with cramp during Sunday’s Premier League clash between Manchester City and Chelsea. The incident has sparked a heated debate, with many taking to social media to share their thoughts on the matter.
It all started when Cucurella, who has a history of trash-talking Haaland, sang a chant about the Norwegian striker during Spain’s Euro 2024 celebrations. The chant, which poked fun at Haaland’s abilities, has been met with a mix of reactions from fans.
Fast forward to Sunday’s match, where Cucurella found himself in a predicament, going down with cramp and needing Haaland’s help. However, instead of offering assistance, Haaland simply walked past his opponent, leaving Cucurella to struggle to get back to his feet.
The incident has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many fans taking Haaland’s side, saying that Cucurella got what was coming to him. "Cucurella got cooked and got a taste of his own medicine," wrote one fan, while another commented, "Best moment of the match in my opinion."
Others have pointed out that Cucurella’s decision to sing a chant about Haaland during Euro 2024 celebrations was a bit rich, given that Haaland was simply returning the favor. "So he takes Haaland’s shirt last season, and sings a song about him… and now is asking him for help?" wrote one fan.
In his post-match interview, Haaland described Cucurella as a "funny man," saying, "Well, Cucurella is a funny man. Last season he asked for my shirt… and this summer he sings a song about me."
The incident has added fuel to the fire in the already intense rivalry between Manchester City and Chelsea, and fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this saga.
