Haaland tells Mikel Arteta to ‘stay humble’ after final whistle

A tense exchange between Erling Haaland and Mikel Arteta has surfaced following Manchester City’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal at the Etihad on Sunday.

After the final whistle, a video captured Haaland approaching Arteta, slapping him on the back, and saying, “Stay humble, eh, stay humble.”

Arteta, visibly irritated, turned to face Haaland but chose not to engage and walked away.

The encounter followed a dramatic match, where Haaland opened the scoring, only for Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel Magalhaes to put Arsenal ahead. John Stones’ late equalizer secured a point for City.

The clash between players in the closing stages reflected the intense rivalry between the two teams.

Haaland’s comment has sparked debate, with some interpreting it as a gesture of sportsmanship, while others see it as provocative.
