Norway and Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland has expressed thankfulness over trolling from PSG stars.

Brazilian forward Neymar and his cohorts copied the celebration of Haaland after a Champions League Win.

The first leg of the round-of-sixteen clash saw the 19-year-old produced a solid performance. In the first leg, Haaland scored a brace in Borussia Dortmund’s 2-1 victory over PSG.

The Norwegian youngster celebrated both goals with his popular meditation display. He would sit with his legs crossed, his index finger and thumb will be together on both hands while pretending to be meditating.

The second leg saw a more rejuvenated PSG side. With Neymar and the lads in full control, Paris Saint Germain were able to sail past Dortmund 2 goals to nothing.

After getting past Dortmund and securing a place in the round-of-eight, the French side mocked Haaland’s celebration.

Nonetheless, the trolling moves of the PSG team has met a fantastic and mature-minded display from Haaland.

Haaland’s Response

Haaland openly made clear to ESPN his thankfulness that PSG mocked him.

He drove home the point that PSG assisted him in passing an important message. He had always wanted to show the world how important meditation is, and PSG helped him do so.

The striker places meditation in the hierarchy of steps he takes in preparing for matches. He sounded in clear terms that meditation has been key to his top performances.

The celebration has already become a brand associated with the Norwegian, as he continues to display top-notch performances at Dortmund.

Performances so far

Haaland has registered a total of 40goals in 33apperances in all contests for both Dortmund and Salzburg this season.

It is also a point of note that 10 of his goals have come in the Champions League. The most prestigious club competition on planet earth.

It is therefore no surprise he has caught the eyes of European top-flights, as they desperately look to secure his services.

What is your opinion?

Has Haaland’s performances been pleasing enough? Where would he play next season?

I would love your beautiful comments.

Stay safe all!
