Erling Haaland is planning a warm welcome for Julian Alvarez despite being left turned off by the World Cup.
Haaland, seen as the biggest superstar in Norwegian sports, was desperate to take his country to Qatar and was left seething at having to watch others showcase their skills in football's biggest tournament after his own side failed to qualify. While Manchester City will be happy that the 22-year-old had the chance to rest after a recent injury, Haaland wanted to be making headlines on the other side of the world.
However, the City No.9 was pleased to see his club teammate lift the trophy. Alvarez displaced Lautaro Martinez from the Argentina starting XI during the tournament and started the final as they defeated France in a fitting end to a thrilling tournament.
