Erling Haaland Reveals Shocking Death Threats After Manchester City’s Draw With Arsenal

Erling Haaland has revealed he received shocking death threats following Manchester City’s 1-1 draw with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

The Norwegian striker, who netted his sixth goal in five Premier League matches, looked to have fired Pep Guardiola’s side to another big win. But despite his opener, City couldn’t hold on, with Gabriel Martinelli’s late strike salvaging a point for the Gunners.

Haaland Unfazed By Threats

After the match, Haaland was seen interacting with fans, even handing his shirt to a young supporter before heading down the tunnel. Later, on Snapchat, he posted a screenshot of an abusive message from an Arsenal fan that read:

“You watch yoursel now mate. Don’t dare post another Snapchat story or it will be the end of you.”

The City star responded with a calm selfie while eating a snack, captioning:

“Getting death threats now as well.”

Despite the chilling words, Haaland appeared completely unfazed, giving the impression that he wouldn’t be rattled by online trolls or hostile rival supporters.

Haaland’s History With Arsenal

This isn’t the first time Haaland has clashed with Arsenal fans. Last season, after City beat the Gunners, he tapped Mikel Arteta on the shoulder and cheekily told him: “Stay humble, eh?” — a phrase that quickly went viral among football fans.

More recently, Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly mocked Haaland’s trademark “zen” celebration after scoring in a 5-1 win over City, showing the tension between the two sides has only grown stronger.

Guardiola’s Take On The Draw

Speaking to Sky Sports, Pep Guardiola admitted Arsenal were the better side:

“It’s difficult to analyse with all that’s happened this week. The schedule is so tough — United, the Champions League, and now Arsenal. In the end, I think the result is fair, but Arsenal were better.”

Despite dropping points, City remain in the mix at the top of the Premier League table, while Haaland continues to prove why he is one of the deadliest strikers in world football — even if he has to deal with disturbing off-pitch distractions.
