  • Ruben Dias found himself on the receiving end of a brutal troll from his Manchester City teammates
  • Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish questioned the Portuguese defender's gym routine
  • Haaland has made good friends with Grealish in his maiden season in the Premier League

Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish took a brutal swipe at their Manchester City teammate Ruben Dias after they mocked his gym antics.

The duo has quickly established their friendship since Haaland joined the defending Premier League champions from Borussia Dortmund last summer.

On the eve of the famous 95th Oscars Awards, the two came up with an award of their own which turned out to be for their teammate.

Haaland and Grealish took issue with Dias' intense gym routine with minimal results. In a video shared online, Grealish said:

"This award is for Ruben Dias for the biggest fraud. He’s in the gym four times a day… but we just never see anything. Remember when we played Borussia Dortmund a few years ago and he got bodied by this man."

The England international then panned the camera to Haaland who took over with the roast session.

"Yeah, I mean, he’s all the time in the gym and the results… where are the results?"

Dias has had his fair share of injury issues this season but has remained a reliable option for Pep Guardiola at the back when fit. The 25-year-old won the Football Writers Association of the Year award in his debut season in England in 2020/2021.

Haaland's weird celebration

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Haaland continued with his procession to the Golden Boot in his maiden season in the Premier League after scoring once to help Manchester City claim maximum points against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Haaland scored from the spot after Michael Olise fouled Ilkay Gundogan on a day where the defending champions struggled to break down Patrick Viera's side.

Known for his pompous celebrations, the 22-year-old took it a notch higher when he appeared to celebrate with Crystal Palace's defender Joel Ward after the final whistle.
