UCL: Guardiola kicks out at Haaland as Man City train for Real Madrid clash

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, jokingly kicked striker Erling Haaland following an animated training ground debate.

In a clip that has gone viral on social media, Guardiola and Haaland were seen sharing a light-hearted chat on the training pitch; before the coach jokingly kicked the Norway international on his thigh.

City are currently preparing to face Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.

This is the third consecutive year that Guardiola’s men will take on Carlo Ancelotti’s men in the Champions League knockout stages.

After being eliminated by Los Blancos in the semi-finals in the 2021/22 season, the Premier League giants took revenge last year by beating Real Madrid 5-1 on aggregate.
