ERLING HAALAND left fans baffled after playing around with Manchester City coach Simon Bitcon.
The City squad is in Athens, Greece preparing for their Super Cup clash with Sevilla.
Strength and conditioning coach Bitcon was running a fitness drill for the players when he was targeted by Haaland for a bit of playfighting.
The Norway international ran up to Bitcon and put him in a chokehold, before letting him go and pushing him away.
Haaland, 23, also punched the coach lightly on his arm, leading Bitcon to playfully square up to the striker.
The pair then compared one another's punching reach, leaving them in fits of laughter as Haaland came out way on top.
