After Spain won Euro 2024, Manchester City fans were left bemused when Marc Cucurella referenced Manchester City striker Erling Haaland in a celebratory chant. Spain beat England 2-1 in the final in Berlin, and were deserved winners of the tournament. Inspired by Player of the Tournament Rodri, Spain were easily the best team out in Germany, and the celebrations were in full swing after Mikel Oyarzabal scored the game-winning goal. England had got back level through Cole Palmer after Nico Williams opened the scoring, but it was defeat for the Three Lions and delight for Spain – with Cucurella particularly overjoyed at becoming a European champion.
Cucurella explained that the chant was meant in good fun, with no major reason for using Haaland’s name specifically. He mentioned that in England, the situation was taken a bit out of context, and he believes that Haaland didn’t take it too personally. Cucurella’s actions led to a bit of banter between the players, with Haaland later showcasing his scoring prowess and not showing any signs of distress over the situation, leaving City fans somewhat amused by the turn of events.
In the end, Cucurella’s chant about Haaland after Spain’s Euro 2024 win was a light-hearted moment that presented some friendly banter between players. Despite initially confusing Manchester City fans and raising some eyebrows, the situation seems to have been taken in stride by Haaland and led to a humorous interaction between the two players during a subsequent game. The incident ended up being a lighthearted footnote in the context of Spain’s victory and Haaland’s subsequent success on the field.
