Fatty steaks and coffee with maple syrup: Erling Haaland lets us in on life at home

<p>Manchester City forward shows he is a dab hand in the kitchen as he launches his YouTube channel</p><p>“It’s been a good day, doing lots of good things for my body and what I normally do in my life,” Erling Haaland says in the opening seconds of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK9WVRErnBQ">the video</a> that marked the launch of his YouTube channel on Thursday. The recording is entitled “Day in the life of a pro footballer” but this is not the most enticing start. Will it be the usual run-of-the-mill offering about how a footballer has herbal tea, protein powder and a private chef to produce beans on toast?</p><p>It will not, it turns out. If the key takeaways are that Haaland has maple syrup in his coffee, stands in front of red light to get vitamin D and is sickeningly talented on the barbecue, there is more besides when the Manchester City striker invites the camera into his mansion of marble, clean edges and floor-to-ceiling windows. Maybe he is not permanently a footballer eager to mow down defenders on his way to scoring goals.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/oct/23/erling-haaland-fatty-steaks-coffee-maple-syrup-life-at-home-youtube-manchester-city">Continue reading...</a>
