'He took it personally' - Marc Cucurella reveals Cole Palmer has spoken to Erling Haaland to smooth things over after Spaniard's song and admits he would do it again

After <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/sexy-football-back-england-inspiration-spain-euro-2024-preparing-2026-world-cup/bltea9e19a341775f12" target="_blank">Cucurella helped Spain win Euro 2024</a> this summer, the left-back fired a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-marc-cucurella-hilarious-warning-erling-haaland-spain-performs-rendition-chelsea-chant-euro-2024-celebration/blt05c06d670e9fa1c8" target="_blank">warning at Manchester City striker Haaland in song form</a>. The Norwegian international was reportedly not happy about the chant, with Cucurella subsequently revealing that Chelsea team-mate and ex-City player Palmer has tried to act as a mediator. Now, the 26-year-old has said "world star" Haaland took it "personally", and the Spaniard was taken out of context - but he would do it all over again if he could.

WHAT HAPPENED?

He told <a href="https://efe.com/deportes/2024-09-05/cucurella-entrevista-efe/" target="_blank">Efe</a>: "Yes, in England too, a lot of attention was given to that and these things happen. I am very happy and I think that if someone has a song sung with his name it is because he is a top player or a world star, the name of a player who is not known would not be used. Everyone is happy because he scored and I am still just as happy to win the Euro. I would do it again, these things happen and that is all."In the end, in England they took it a little out of context and I don't think he [Haaland] understood it either. He read what they said and took it a little personally. Nowadays people take things very personally, but then they had some awards and my colleague [Cole] Palmer asked him about me and that was it. It was just an anecdote."

WHAT MARC CUCURELLA SAID

Cucurella and Haaland did cross paths on the opening Premier League game of the season, with the latter <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/funny-man-erling-haaland-breaks-silence-marc-cucurella-s-chant-man-city-striker-last-laugh-chelsea-score/blta7b789cd46ff2044">shrugging off the ex-Brighton ace en route to opening the scoring in a 2-0 win</a> against Chelsea last month. The former Borussia Dortmund man was certainly not "trembling" as he got the better of the Spaniard at Stamford Bridge.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

While both Haaland and Cucurella are on international duty for their respective countries over the next week or so, they may lock horns with one another for the return Premier League clash at the Etihad in January 2025.
