Alfie-Inge riles up Madrid supporters
Five yellow cards were given out throughout the game, one of which was given to Real manager Carlo Ancelotti. However, it also apparently spilled in the corporate box when Haaland’s father got into an altercation with Real supporters while watching the game from his box.
Alf-Inge, also known as Alfie, a former City player, was captured on camera cupping his ears and waving at Real fans below. After allegedly taunting and hurling food at Real Madrid supporters. As Haaland’s father was being led out of the box by security, Real supporters in the vicinity could be heard yelling “adios” from their seats. When Alf-Inge was kicked out of the game, it was still being played, according to the screens behind him.

Haaland in Manchester City
Haaland, who has 51 goals overall this season, had a quiet night on the pitch. With 35 strikes, he has now surpassed the Premier League record for most strikes in a season. On Monday, Alf-Inge told that his son is thriving under Pep Guardiola.
He said, ‘I am very proud. It’s great to see. He has always loved the Premier League and it’s been a dream of his for a long time. He had a great time in Germany also but obviously it’s very special to play in England. It’s a privilege for the players to play for a great club in the Premier League. They should be happy.’

He continued, ‘It might be for just a short time of your life and if you can’t enjoy playing on this stage then something’s wrong with you. I enjoy when he smiles and when he celebrates the goals of his team-mates, it’s great to see.’
Erling will be hoping that he can help Manchester City win the UCL title for the first time in their history. The Cityzens signed the Norwegian striker to help them win the trophy that has evaded them for the longest time. It will be interesting to see how Haaland performs in the second leg and if he helps City reach their second UCL final in three years.
