Erling Haaland is BOOED by his own supporters after failing to greet fans following Scotland loss
Erling Haaland was booed by his own fans after Norway's dramatic 2-1 loss to Scotland in their UEFA European Championship qualifying match. The loss means that Norway's chances of qualifying for Euro 2024 are slim, and Haaland may be on vacation next summer instead of competing in the tournament.
Haaland had ended a five-match scoring drought by converting a penalty to give Norway the lead in Oslo. However, Scotland scored two late goals to win the match, and Haaland was visibly frustrated after the final whistle. He did not greet fans waiting for him outside the stadium, and they booed him as he walked straight onto the bus.
The loss comes after a busy week for Haaland, who was pictured enjoying Manchester City's Champions League celebrations. He has also been on international duty with Norway, and his frustration at the loss was clear.
It is unclear whether Haaland's actions will have any consequences for his club career. However, the incident is a reminder that even the best players can be affected by disappointment.
