Man City star Erling Haaland scoffs four monster sandwiches costing £56 leaving shop owner in dreamland
GOAL monster Erling Haaland devours four monster sandwiches costing £55.85 after his epic efforts on the pitch.
The giant butties are made from focaccia bread and contain Parma ham, rocket, tomatoes, pesto, truffle oil, pistachios, olives and creamy burrata cheese – and the Manchester City goalscorer likes them delivered after training.

They are rustled up by top sarnie shop Ad Maiora and cost £13.95 at the firm’s two Manchester locations.
The outfit also caters to City stars after training and Norway striker Haaland took such a shine to the huge concoction that he scoffed one and took another three home after a recent home session.
Boss Enrico Pinn said of the day at Citys’ training HQ as he posed for a snap with the giant striker: “Talking to them and having them taste our focaccia was like living a dream.”
His wife Daniela said: “City invited us over after winning the derby, it was like a treat for the players and staff of Manchester City. We made our sandwiches in their kitchens, we got to see all the players, they took us around to show us everything, it was amazing.
“We got to see Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish, Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne, everybody. Haaland even asked for a takeaway and so we made him three huge sandwiches to take away with him!”
He also loves Yorkshire puddings with all the trimmings. The foodie scoffs up to six meals a day to keep his giant engine fuelled.
Last month it was revealed how the Norway hot-shot tucks into a special Italian dish of pasta, cream and mushrooms at an eatery near his home to celebrate a win.
And fellow Norwegian and close pal Sander Berge – who plays for Burnley – revealed that they meet up for Sunday roast dinners.

The player revealed: “We see each other once or twice a week. We just eat good food, have a laugh. Sunday roast; roasted potatoes, gravy, Yorkshire puddings.
“We have a good time. It’s nice to have a fellow Norwegian, a special, fun character.”
During an interview with ESPN, Haaland’s father revealed that his son had taken on the diet of Cristiano Ronaldo after hearing a story about the legend told by former Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra.
He eats plates of chicken and pasta cooked without salt and grub like swordfish, sea bass and sea bream all cooked with veg.
“I had to be determined to make it in the game. But Erling made all the sacrifices, leaving home at 16 to move to Molde, and he is a lot more professional than I was,” Alf-Inge Haaland, who played Premier League football with Leeds United and Manchester City, admitted.
“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 things because Ronaldo is still at the top of the game, so it shows the value of doing the right things.”
And his Norway team-mate Josh King lifted the lid on the insane eating habits that keep the 6’4″ hitman in such tip-top shape.
Speaking on team-mate Ben Foster‘s ‘The Cycling GK’ podcast, King said: “He’s just a freak. I’ve never ever seen anyone eat as much as he does.”
King added that Haaland “eats like a bear”, which helps to maintain his imposing physique and gives a physical edge over opposition defenders.
