Real Madrid stars react to Erling Haaland’s new haircut – ‘Ragnar’

Real Madrid stars react to Erling Haaland’s new haircut – ‘Ragnar’ Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland has become as synonymous with his long hair as he has with his goalscoring exploits. Thus, his striking new look has taken over the internet, and two Real Madrid stars could not resist reacting to it. Both Jude Bellingham and Ibrahima Konate appeared in the comments under Haaland’s post, offering very different but equally amusing reactions to the Norwegian’s new appearance. Bellingham cannot believe Haaland’s new look Bellingham kept his reaction extremely simple.

Konate, meanwhile, saw a resemblance to a rather famous Scandinavian warrior. “Ragnar,” the Madrid centre-back commented. The reference appears to be to Ragnar Lothbrok, the legendary Viking figure whose modern portrayal has become particularly recognisable through the television series Vikings. Given Haaland’s Norwegian roots, imposing physique and now his new hairstyle, it is not difficult to see where Konate was coming from. Madrid duo enjoy Haaland transformation It was ultimately nothing more than some light-hearted interaction between players who regularly cross paths at the highest level of European football. It also offers another small glimpse of the relationships these elite footballers share and how they engage with one another. Even when they represent rival clubs, many of them share international dressing rooms, sponsor events and years of playing against each other across major competitions. The timing also makes the exchange a little more amusing given how often Haaland’s name has been linked with Real Madrid over the years. There is no transfer angle here, of course, but Madrid supporters are more than familiar with seeing the Norwegian discussed in reference to the club. Bellingham and Konate have now caught everyone’s attention by reacting to Haaland’s new look, and it will not be long before the trend catches on. Konate was signed from Liverpool earlier this summer and has crossed paths with Haaland very often in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Real Madrid vs Manchester City has developed into an annual occurrence in the Champions League, and Bellingham has also shared the stage with Haaland at Borussia Dortmund. It remains to be seen whether this new-look Haaland remains as lethal as his long-haired version in the coming months and years.
