Liverpool: Fans mock Erling Haaland after his pre-match comments

Liverpool fans have mocked RB Salzburg striker Erling Haaland after the Reds’ 2-0 victory against the Austrian outfit on Tuesday.

The Norwegian forward, 19, made a bold prediction in the build-up to the crunch Champions League clash that saw his team knocked out of the competition and demoted to the Europa League.

Goals from Naby Keita and Mohamed Salah ensured that Jurgen Klopp’s side advanced through to the last 16 of the tournament as group winners, finishing ahead of Napoli.

Haaland was seen throwing a water bottle in anger on the pitch after his side’s defeat to the Premier League leaders in frustration. He was substituted shortly after this incident.

Supporters reminded him of these comments that he made before the game and made their feelings clear about his attitude on social media.
