The Manchester City goal machine hilariously apologised to Brazil legend and former Real Madrid star Ronaldo as he replaced him with his cousin Jonatan Braun Brunes in his EA FC 24 ultimate team.In his team, Haaland pairs up with Brunes upfront while Kylian Mbappe and Ronaldinho are slotted on the wings. The starting lineup also features club-mate Kyle Walker as the right-back while Manchester City legend Yaya Toure features in midfield.

The Norwegian shared a screenshot of his team on his Instagram story and wrote, "Sorry @ronaldo have to drop you for my cousin @jonatanbrunes.<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt4db28ad1023e2627/IMG_20231209_133955.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt4db28ad1023e2627/IMG_20231209_133955.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt4db28ad1023e2627/IMG_20231209_133955.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Erling Haaland EA FC 24 team Instagram" data-source="Erling Haaland Instagram" data-copyright="Erling Haaland Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:blt4db28ad1023e2627;width:1080;height:1900"></picture>
