- The Norwegian superstar footballer was announced as the
Barbarian King character in Clash of Clans, one of the world's most
popular mobile games with over two billion downloads
- But the legendary football players posted tongue-in-cheek
reaction videos on their social channels, saying they should
have been given the starring role
- Fans of Haaland can check out the game here
HELSINKI, May 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Football
legends Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Sergio Agüero have playfully called
out star striker Erling Haaland
online, voicing their frustrations over his major new deal with
Supercell video game Clash of Clans.
The Norwegian forward has become the famous 'Barbarian King'
character in the popular mobile game, but the legendary Brazilians
and Argentine have claimed the deal should have been theirs - as
their characters would've been a better fit.
Ronaldo, a three time FIFA player of the year and twice winner
of the Ballon d'Or, said: "I can't believe they put Erling Haaland in Clash of Clans. I am Ronaldo
the First! Nobody tears down defences like Ronaldo the
First."
Ronaldinho, a fellow World Cup and Ballon d'Or winner, joined in
the action by saying: "I know they already have a wizard in
Clash of Clans, but I create even better magic with a football at
my feet."
While Sergio Agüero, a Premier
League and Argentina national team
legend, said: "Everything I do, he does it too, whether it's
breaking records or playing video games. And now he's in a game?
Give me a break!"
All three said that they should have been the face of the new
Clash of Clans campaign, which has seen a surge in downloads
following the Norwegian's involvement. Clash of Clans and Haaland
recently launched the new partnership with an epic movie-style
trailer, complete with custom Haaland soundtrack.
Responding to the comments, Erling
Haaland said: "These guys are all legends and I'd have
them in my clan any day."
