Footage emerges of 'next Pep' Erling Haaland coaching his teammates on the touchline, it's brilliant

In fact, Haaland did not play a single minute for the Blues on Tuesday night as they progressed to the last-16.

That being said, Haaland was heavily involved on the touchline, where he could be seen showing off his coaching skills.

Clearly a popular member of the group, the enigmatic Haaland then made teammate Foden laugh with a joke.

One fan said: "If you’ve ever been part of a team, this is the type of teammate you enjoy being around - as long as they don’t overdo it. You can tell his teammates enjoy his presence," while another wrote: "I can’t seem to hate this guy."

A third commented: "It seams their dressing room would be a great place. They all appear to be getting on."

“He finished the game against Southampton so so tired and he didn't recover well these [last] two or three days," the Spaniard said. "Yesterday was not good, today was a little bit better but not perfect and that’s why we decided not to take the risk.

“Many players didn't start today because they were really exhausted and tired and fatigued, and [had] niggles," he added.

“Erling didn't feel really good after the game against Southampton, Phil also had some disturbing problems, Bernardo told us yesterday he was so tired. I didn’t want to take a risk.”

Who will come out on top?

Let us know.
