Gavi and Erling Haaland came face to face in Sunday’s Euro 2024 qualifier
The Scandinavian side suffered a 1-0 defeat to Spain at the weekend, with Gavi scoring the only goal of the match.
And the 19-year-old took to Instagram to poke fun at rival Haaland after the final whistle.
He posted a picture of himself, appearing to shrug his shoulders, alongside the Man City star with a caption that included two Spain flags.
Not only Gavi, Haaland’s former teammate Laporte also participated in jokes mocking the Norwegian star. Former City defender Aymeric Laporte started at the back for Spain.
Laporte was one of the two centre-backs for the visiting team.
And, as you can see below, the 29-year-old has joked about playing against Haaland.

With Scotland also having qualified for Euro 2024 thanks to La Roja’s victory, both countries now have 15 points.
Norway now only has one opportunity to qualify for the tournament in Germany, and that is through the Nations League play-offs.

Haaland and Martin Odegaard, two stars of the Premier League, have yet to represent their nation on the largest stage.
Scotland is currently training for a subsequent run at the European Championships.
