Haaland was inspired by Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo is known for his athleticism. According to Goal, Ronaldo revealed the secret to his amazing physique.

"A good workout must be combined with a good diet. I eat a high protein diet, with lots of wholegrain carbs, fruit and vegetables, and avoid sugary foods."

Meanwhile, Haaland has borrowed some of Ronaldo's diet and mixed it up with some of his. However, his diet is a bit strange, according to The Sun.

“Or the local cow eating grass right over there? I eat the heart and the liver.”

His father Alfie Haaland, who once played for City, said Ronaldo inspired his son to eat healthily.

“He was told a story by Patrice Evra about a lunch he had with Ronaldo and Cristiano had fish, nothing else. Erling now tries to do the same.”
