In the viral video, Haaland is holding the Champions League trophy, when Foden’s son Ronnie runs up to him.

Quite innocently, little Ronnie can be heard telling Haaland, “I thought you were a girl!”, a statement which clearly caught the Norwegian striker off guard.

The young lad then briefly plays with the Champions League trophy before getting called back to join his dad.

According to The Mirror, Ronnie is Foden’s first of two children who he shares with his girlfriend Rebecca Cooke.

The couple also has a daughter, who was born in 2021.

Haaland for Man City

Since signing from Borussia Dortmund last summer, Haaland has been a revelation for Manchester City.

Despite not scoring in the 1-0 win over Inter, the 22-year-old has been integral for Pep Guardiola’s side.

According to Transfermkt, he has scored 52 goals in 52 appearances for The Citizens.

Sports Brief also reported on the cute moment involving Ronnie Foden and Rico Lewis.

As seen in a Snapchat video shared on Twitter by ESPNFC, fellow academy star Rico Lewis shared a car side moment with Foden’s son. He enjoyed it so much that he asked for the video be sent to his dad.

The 23-year-old added the Champions League to his haul of trophies for his boyhood club. Lewis and Cole Palmer are the other academy graduates to join Foden in the first team this year.
