For years, Haaland's Viking-like hairstyle has been part of his identity as one of soccer's biggest stars.
The Norwegian striker first gained fame at Red Bull Salzburg and Borussia Dortmund before joining Manchester City in 2022, where he quickly became one of the world's most prolific goalscorers.

Along the way, the blonde bun became almost as famous as his goals, flying behind him during sprints and appearing in countless celebrations.
However, Haaland has now opted for a dramatically shorter buzz cut, giving the superstar a completely different look, and fans have predictably gone wild.

There's also a bit of history behind the locks, as Haaland has previously discussed advice from Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimović about keeping his hair long.
But despite losing the Viking mane, Haaland hasn't lost the one thing that really matters to Manchester City: his unmatched talent.
