ERLING HAALAND left fans joking that he “needs a software update” after painfully awkward post-match interview following Borussia Dortmund’s 4-0 hammering over Schalke.
The BVB golden boy mustered just 11 words before darting off while the reporter was in mid sentence.
fans joked that Erling Haaland “needs a software update” after his incredibly brief answers in a post-match interview
Second placed Dortmund closed the gap to just one point behind league leaders Bayern Munich as football resumed amid the coronavirus crisis.
And it was no surprise that Westphalia ace Haaland banged in the first goal of the Bundesliga restart with a scintillating finish on 29 minutes.
The goals just kept coming and the hosts celebrated their 4-0 drubbing by clapping an empty “yellow wall”.
When Haaland was probed by a beIN SPORTS reporter as to why the Dortmund aces had performed their traditional celebration in front of an eerily empty Signal Iduna Park.
The 19-year-old bluntly replied: “Why not?” with a cheeky raise of the eyebrows.
Following a tumbleweed moment of silence, the reporter asked if the Norwegian prodigy was looking to send out a message.
Haaland responded with a forthright, “Yes” before adding, “The message was to my fans, to Dortmund’s fans”.
The final question was, “They are everything for you and for Borussia Dortmund?”
To which the youngster curtly replied, “it is” before dashing off and cutting off the dumbfounded interviewer.
Social media soon went crazy at the prolific Borussia Dortmund frontman’s robotic responses.
Moments before the Norwegian star found the back of the net, he was told go “f**k your grandmother” by Royal Blues centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo.
The cameras picked up Haaland and Todibo exchanging verbals before the 20-year-old French centre-back’s vile remark.
But the BVB hotshot had the last laugh when he made the history books and became the first person to register after coronavirus suspended the campaign.
The Norway international unveiled a new social distance celebration when he broke the deadlock.
It was Haaland’s tenth goal in his last nine games for Dortmund, with his last effort coming 66 days ago before the pandemic led to lockdown.
