Haaland Returns to Norway with an Unconventional Souvenir After World Cup Exit

Manchester City's prolific forward, Erling Haaland, has touched down back in his native Norway, and he wasn't empty-handed. Accompanying him on his return journey was an unusual item: a taxidermied raccoon.

The Norwegian international, whose national team did not qualify for the recent World Cup, was present in the United States during the tournament. Upon his arrival back home, Haaland offered a lighthearted explanation for his distinctive travel companion.

When questioned about the presence of the stuffed raccoon, the 22-year-old joked to reporters, "It followed me home," as he disembarked.
