Erling Haaland is known for his blunt and slightly awkward style when it comes to media duty, and he definitely didn't disappoint following Borussia Dortmund's cup final win on Thursday night.
The Norwegian forward, who has scored 39 goals in 39 games for BVB this season, bagged a brace in a dominant 4-1 win against RB Leipzig as Edin Terzik's side deservedly lifted the DFB Pokal trophy for the fifth time.

It was a one-sided affair from start to finish. After the impressive Jadon Sancho opened the scoring in the 5th minute, that man Haaland bagged his first in the 28th minute when he outmuscled Dayot Upamecano in the box to make it 2-0.
He then added to his tally late on to seal what was another dominant performance from the 20-year-old.

After the full-time whistle, Haaland was called over to the media zone and well, his post-match interview did not disappoint as he spoke about a "shit" second half and feeling a "boost in his biceps" after going to the gym.
This is definitely one of his longest - and best - post-match interviews.

Here's how the conversation went:
Reporter: How proud are you about your team tonight?
Haaland: "I am proud to win my first title. Damn, it feels good."
Reporter: How do you analyse the match, the team was so effective...
Haaland: "The first-half was good, but the second was shit. We were a bit lucky but it just feels good to win."
Reporter: What about this viking scream after the first goal...
Haaland: "I've been in the gym a little bit more than normal lately so I felt a boost in my biceps. It felt good to get it out. It was a nice goal."
Reporter: You wanted to impress with your muscles....What about tonight? I mean, there is corona so you can't have a party. Will you stay up longer?
Haaland: "It is shit without fans. I wish we could celebate with all our fans. That's how it is. I'm sure we will celebrate later."
Lmao Haaland just pulled a "sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit" in his interview
:joy::joy::joy:
