Erling Haaland causes a surprise by using ‘banned’ product

Not just a machine on the pitch, Erling Haaland’s habits off the field are also very interesting. Recently, the 25-year-old forward revealed in his vlog that he bought raw milk - a product banned in Scotland.

After a difficult season last year, Haaland has returned with his incredible goal-scoring form. In the Premier League, the Norwegian striker has scored 15 goals in 15 matches, along with 6 goals in 5 Champions League games. This morning, he scored the winner against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu, securing a 2-1 victory for Manchester City.

On the pitch, Haaland shows his superior physical condition and impressive finishing ability. Off the pitch, he gives fans a look at what he does to maintain his status as one of the best strikers in the world. His recent YouTube vlog showed parts of his daily routine: cooking, physio sessions, and a trip to buy essential food products.

During the shopping trip, he bought raw milk, which he called a “superfood” that is “good for the stomach, good for the skin, the bones and muscles.” Although he believes it benefits his health, the general public is not recommended to drink raw milk. According to experts, raw milk may contain harmful bacteria, which is why producers must follow strict hygiene and safety standards. Vulnerable individuals, in particular, are advised to avoid it. Scotland - one of the UK’s nations - even bans the sale of raw drinking milk entirely.

Former City academy nutritionist Dan Richardson said: “The challenge with raw milk is that you can get some companies who do a good job in reducing the risk factor to bacteria, and I am sure Haaland will be using the premium quality available out there.

“A nutritionist is not going to allow him to buy raw milk that has a high risk of contamination. When people begin to copy these dietary habits, it can become unsafe, as people will go out and buy the cheapest and most accessible version that may carry food-borne illnesses.”

Not only raw milk, Haaland also showed his interest in coffee - which he also calls a “superfood.” He drinks one cup every morning and another after training. The forward explained: “Coffee is a superfood in my eyes - if you do it right. Why? It depends on the quality, when you drink it, and of course how. I’m into my coffee. It needs a little bit of (raw) milk in - superfood as well, I think.”

Finally, trying to copy elite athletes’ routines may seem appealing, but ordinary people do not have the same physical condition or access to high-quality products. Applying these habits mechanically - without proper guidance or safe ingredients - can easily become counterproductive and even harmful to your health.
