Erling Haaland broke the goalscoring record as a Norwegian international in October and immediately announced the baby news. Things were less rosy at club level afterwards. The goalscorer slipped into a crisis with Manchester City. The Citizens won two and drew three of their last 14 matches in all competitions. The remaining games were lost.

Haaland sets historic Norwegian record - and announces baby news

On Sunday, the English champions were able to breathe a sigh of relief after a 2:0 win at Leicester. Haaland scored the final goal. "It was a tough time," said goalscorer Haaland. "Now it's New Year and I'm not thinking so much about football for now. Now we can recover a bit."

Haaland's focus is likely to be on his newborn child. As Pep Guardiola revealed after the last game of the year, the 24-year-old has become a dad. "He's tired, he's played a lot of minutes. He's become a father for the first time in the last few days, it's a lot of emotions and an exciting few days for him."

Haaland himself has not yet commented on the birth of his child.
