The rivalry between Arsenal center-back Gabriel Magalhaes and Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has reached a new level. After winning the Premier League title, the Brazilian defender posted a unique video on TikTok, appearing to indirectly mock his Norwegian rival. This is reported by Goal.com reports .
Gabriel chose Flo Rida's 2011 hit "Good Feeling" as the background music for his video holding the championship trophy. This is no coincidence, as Erling Haaland mocked his opponents by singing the same song on camera when Manchester City beat Arsenal earlier in the season. Now, Gabriel has caused a stir on social media with this "response."
The relationship between these two players became quite tense during the 2024-25 season. In the match that ended in a 2-2 draw, Erling Haaland intentionally threw the ball at Gabriel's head after scoring. Following that, the Arsenal defender said he was waiting for the return leg and celebrated in the striker's face after a 5-1 victory in London.
Despite the personal animosity, both players had excellent seasons. Erling Haaland scored 38 goals in 52 matches across all competitions, becoming the Premier League top scorer for the third time in four seasons. Gabriel became a true leader of Arsenal's defensive line, contributing significantly to his team's long-awaited title.
Now, Gabriel's focus is on the Champions League final. Arsenal will face PSG in Paris on May 30th for the main trophy. However, this uncompromising battle between Gabriel and Erling Haaland will undoubtedly continue next season.
