Erling Haaland was visibly elated as he teased Youtuber and entrepreneur KSI following Manchester City’s clinching of the Premier League title on Sunday. Despite Arsenal’s strong push, Pep Guardiola’s squad secured a historic fourth consecutive Premier League championship, leaving the Gunners with the runner-up spot. Haaland’s tenure of two years in England has been fruitful, yielding six significant trophies across domestic and European tournaments, with City poised to face their arch-rivals, Manchester United, in the upcoming FA Cup final this weekend.
Haaland had double cause for celebration as he not only helped Manchester City secure the Premier League title but also clinched the golden boot award for the second year in a row with his remarkable tally of 27 league goals. Although he’s not one to engage frequently with the media, Haaland, known for his straightforward responses, made an exception to deliver a special message to KSI after sealing the league triumph.
KSI, a proud Arsenal supporter, proudly declared his allegiance to the club and even struck a deal to have his co-founded PRIME hydration drink become an official sponsor of Arsenal. Earlier in the season, KSI and Logan Paul had the opportunity to interview Haaland, during which the City superstar revealed his new role as one of PRIME’s latest ambassadors.
In a playful gesture, the 23-year-old sent a video message to KSI from a secluded spot at the Etihad, holding a bottle of PRIME hydration drink. “KSI, it looks like it wasn’t Arsenal’s year again, but it’s not all bad news. There’s a silver lining too,” he remarked with a grin, sipping from the bottle as he spoke.
Haaland concluded his message with a casual toast, saying, “I’m popping this one, cheers. Enjoy this bottle; it’s an amazing drink. Cheers, mate, have a nice evening.” Fans were quick to pick up on his choice of words, particularly the reference to “bottle,” linking it humorously to Arsenal’s loss of their lead to Manchester City. Social media erupted with reactions, with one post hilariously stating on X: “Enjoy this Bottle. He knew what he was doing.” Another comment echoed the sentiment, saying, “Ain’t no way he said enjoy this bottle. That’s jokes, man.”
