Erling Haaland
Manchester City forward Erling Haaland made headlines last week with the launch of his YouTube channel. His inaugural video featured a glimpse into his day-to-day life as a Premier League player, followed by a Halloween-themed post.
Haaland transformed himself into a chilling rendition of The Joker, inspired by Heath Ledger’s portrayal in “The Dark Knight.” Standing at 6’5” and weighing 200 lbs, he caused quite a stir while out and about in his costume.
His encounter at a gas station left one shopper questioning whether he was the “Man City boy,” while another recognized him and exclaimed, “Is that Haaland? That’s incredible!”
This season, Haaland has delivered an impressive tally of 24 goals in just 15 matches for club and country. He is set to return to action against AFC Bournemouth on Sunday.
Real Madrid’s Early Halloween Festivities
With their fixture list busy, Real Madrid players decided to kick off Halloween celebrations ahead of schedule, hosting a party two days before October 31. Following their recent victory against Barcelona in El Clásico, several members of the Brazilian squad put on an extravagant show with their costumes.
Vinícius Júnior’s girlfriend, Virginia Fonseca, stood out as Cruella de Vil. In contrast, Júnior opted for a clown look rather than aligning with the 101 Dalmatians theme.
Endrick and his wife, Gabriely Miranda, both donned matching Chucky doll costumes, complete with mock weaponry. Meanwhile, Éder Militão partnered with his wife Taina, dressing as the Addams Family, even crafting a short video homage to the classic series.
Rodrygo’s outfit featured a leopard-print suit and a blood-splattered T-shirt, leaving onlookers puzzled about his Halloween choice.
Napoli Celebrates in Style
Serie A champions Napoli hosted their Halloween celebration a day after a 1-0 triumph over Lecce, donning a limited-edition Halloween kit with a glowing badge.
The team gathered in Naples for the festivities, with Scott McTominay showcasing an impressive half-flesh, half-skull face paint. Notably, he humorously critiqued teammate Rasmus Højlund’s choice of a sweater vest and loafers, complete with white socks.
In addition to McTominay, Leonardo Spinazzola and Matteo Politano represented the Addams Family, with Spinazzola as Gomez and Politano as Pugsley. Other teammates brought colorful costumes inspired by popular movies and shows, including Alex Meret as Hagrid.
