ERLING HAALAND brutally tackled Marc Cucurella to the ground after the Chelsea star suffered a cramp.
A feud seems to be brewing between the two after Cucurella mocked the striker with a funny song earlier this summer.

After winning the European Championship with Spain, the Chelsea defender sang that Haaland “trembles” when he approaches him.
But when the two met at Stamford Bridge on the opening weekend, it was Cucurella who came up short.
It took Haaland just 18 minutes to take back Cucurella’s words by shaking off the defender and lobbing the ball into the net.
The Norwegian then dealt his opponent another blow by refusing to help when he developed a cramp.
Cucurella fell to the ground, holding his leg and shouted to Haaland, who, however, continued walking past without helping him.
Teammate Pedro Neto came to the aid of the injured Cucurella while fans enjoyed Haaland’s “s***housery”.
One person reacted by saying: “Football is so scripted 😭 Cucurella sang this, then got a cramp and asked Haaland to help him.
“Bro just walked past him and started laughing 🤣 I love this game.”

Another added: “Like I just saw Cucurella begging Haaland to help him with his cramp and Haaland smiled and left 😂 I just love seeing this.”
A third wrote: “I love how Haaland walks past Cucurella when he asks for help with cramps 🤩”
Haaland was not satisfied with this and attacked the Chelsea defender again after the game.
He said: “Well, Cucurella is a funny man. Last season he asked for my jersey… and this summer he’s singing a song about me.”
Harry Redknapp’s predictions for the 2024/25 season
TOP FOUR
ARSENAL, MANCHESTER CITY, LIVERPOOL and TOTTENHAM – and I have a really strong feeling for Arsenal this season. Some of Man City’s star players are getting a bit older. There has been nothing between the two teams for the last two years.
DESCENT
EVERTON (18th), SOUTHAMPTON (19th), LEICESTER (20th) — I like Sean Dyche and Everton are a great club with brilliant, knowledgeable fans. They are just poorly managed. They need to get relegated to rebuild and come back. But the key is new ownership.
BEST GOALSCOR
ERLING HAALAND — I can’t imagine anyone can take the crown away from him. He’s a goal machine, isn’t he? If I got him at 1-0, I might hit him!
MOST ASSISTS
MARTIN ODEGAARD — He will be the catalyst for Arsenal’s rise to the title. I can see it already. He’s a great player and he makes everything look so easy.
CARABAO CUP
TOTTENHAM — Ange Postecoglou will break Spurs’ trophy curse. Most big teams will be toying with that trophy, but Tottenham will go at it full steam ahead.
FA CUP
LIVERPOOL – I am convinced that Arne Slot will quickly make his mark on English football and there is few better way to do that than by lifting that famous old trophy.
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
REAL MADRID — Carlo Ancelotti is optimistic about their chances. He has said that with Kylian Mbappe, this is the best team they have had in a long time.
EUROPEAN LEAGUE
MANCHESTER UNITED — Clubs no longer seem to despise this competition, and Spurs and United should go for it with all their might.
CONFERENCE LEAGUE
CHELSEA — The Luxembourg champions could be dangerous! Jokes aside, the Blues have to win.
