Erling Haaland Tests YouTuber MrBeast In Manchester City Gauntlet

A Tough Test At City

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland took time during the international break to host popular internet star MrBeast at the club's training ground. The famous YouTuber, whose full name is James Stephen Jimmy Donaldson, joined two of his close friends to take on a special physical challenge. The video was uploaded to Haaland's own YouTube channel, which currently has over four million subscribers.

The Norwegian international created a special series of fitness drills called the Erling Haaland Gauntlet. He put MrBeast, alongside his friends Tareq Salameh and Nolan Hansen, through several tough activities. These tests were designed to measure their endurance, overall strength, and football skill, which are qualities that have helped make the striker one of the top players in world football.

Drills And Penalty Punishments

The challenges consisted of several physical exercises, including intense sprints, wall sits, headers, and a crossbar challenge. The winner of the entire competition would walk away with a prize called the Haaland Hammer. On the other hand, the loser faced a rough punishment at the end of the session.

Tareq Salameh came out victorious after finishing first out of the three visitors, earning himself the trophy. Unfortunately for MrBeast, he ended up in last place. As a result of losing, the YouTuber had to go into the net and act as a target. Salameh, Hansen, and Haaland all took free shots at him directly from the penalty spot.

What It Takes To Be A Pro

The video clearly showed that MrBeast lacks the skill required to be a professional football player. He is the most subscribed creator on YouTube with over 526 million followers and is known for massive challenges, but taking on an elite striker on the pitch was a completely different experience.

Focus Shifts To Norway

While matches for Manchester City are temporarily stopped, Haaland is not taking time off to relax. The 26 year old player was selected for the Norway national team to play in their final group matches in UEFA Nations League A.

Norway will compete against Wales and Denmark in this upcoming match window. Haaland and his national team are currently sitting in last place in Group 4, but they are still hoping to secure a spot in the quarterfinal stage of the tournament.
