Noel Gallagher promised that if Manchester City win and Erling Haaland scores a hat-trick, he will perform in his underpants!
Noel Gallagher has made a bold promise ahead of the Champions League final. If Manchester City win and Erling Haaland scores a hat-trick, he will perform in his underpants!
The iconic singer-songwriter will play with his band Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds in San Diego on the same day as the final.
Noel Gallagher was recently photographed with Haaland in the City dressing room after their 4-1 victory over Arsenal.
In the photo, Haaland is smiling in his underwear alongside the legendary Mancunian rock star.
Now, with the final looming, Noel has made his cheeky promise:
“If City win and Haaland scores a hat-trick, I’ll be going on in my underpants.”
He also shared his admiration for the Norwegian striker:
“Erling did ask for my picture. I was like, ‘whoa, yeah but can you bend down a bit?’”
“He’s a lovely lad with a beautiful, big smile. He looks like a big happy kid. He’s great.”
Noel Gallagher won’t be in Istanbul for the final due to prior commitments:
“I always make sure the dates around the Champions League are free. But this year, with the World Cup shift, it wasn’t factored in. I’m contractually obliged to play the gig, and that’s OK.”
Instead, he will watch the game at a San Diego bar.
Reflecting on past disappointments, Noel recalled City’s loss to Chelsea in the previous final:
“The Chelsea final was the worst I’ve ever felt as a City fan.”
“I even hated waking up that morning, knowing how bad all-English finals usually are.”
He added that winning in a full stadium this time would mean more:
“Would we really want to win it in a half-empty stadium? Istanbul will do.”
Even if they don’t win, Noel Gallagher remains proud:
“We are Premier League champions again and we have won the FA Cup.”
“This could still be one of the greatest seasons for any football team ever.”
