Erling Haaland warmed his heart on Sunday as he looked after Kevin De Bruyne's sons during Manchester City's title celebrations.
City won the Premier League for the third time in a row and for the fifth time in six years at the weekend after beating Chelsea, winning the title on Saturday following Arsenal's loss to Nottingham Forest.
After the game at the Etihad, the City players welcomed their families to the pitch to celebrate their title, and Haaland was seen handing a Premier League medal to a young player - at least temporarily. But then he was adopted by two of De Bruyne's children.

Haaland and De Bruyne have forged a real bond on the pitch, with both players breaking Premier League records this season. While Haaland broke the record for most goals in a single Premier League season, De Bruyne became the player with the fastest 100 assists in the league, with the majority coming from the Norwegian. .
Never-before-seen footage showed De Bruyne's two sons approaching the striker before being greeted with a hug.
De Bruyne's eldest son, Mason, was initially upset when Haaland gave the medal to someone else instead of him. Haaland responded with a sad, sarcastic expression, before bending over and asking for a hug. The boy expressed gratitude before the second eldest of De Bruyne's three children, Rome, also rushed in for a hug. De Bruyne and partner Michele have three children, the third, Suri, is less than a year old and was born last September.
