Do you think De Bruyne is excited about teaming up with Haaland? The Norwegian wonder-kid is set to join Manchester City this summer on a deal from Borussia Dortmund, where he's dominated for the past few seasons. Pep Guardiola's side has long lacked a true striker, but they've just landed arguably the most gifted young talent in world football to fill that void.
In the Bundesliga this season, Haaland has scored 21 goals and assisted 8 across 23 games. He scored 3 goals in as many Champions League appearances as well, showcasing his ability to dominate at any level. Now he's set for his biggest challenge yet, the Premier League, and it's clear his new Manchester City teammates are eager to get to work alongside him.
De Bruyne, despite his hat-trick on Wednesday, is renowned as one of the game's greatest passers. The pairing of him alongside Haaland will be a tactical nightmare for opposing squads, and he's already paying homage to his new running mate with his hat-trick celebrations. Haaland will be the one scoring multi-goal games for Manchester City in the future, so De Bruyne is simply introducing fans to the celebration that they will all come to love.
