Erling Haaland hilariously apologized to Brazilian icon Ronaldo after posting a snapshot of his EA FC 24 Ultimate Team to his Instagram account.
The Manchester City forward unveiled his online squad in a post but was forced to apologize to Ronaldo for demoting him to his team's substitutes bench.
Haaland is clearly a fan of video games and in particular the Ultimate Team feature that allows players to create their own dream teams and compete against other gamers.
Many footballers, including Liverpool's Diogo Jota, are fans of the much-loved online platform, with Haaland one of the latest Premier League stars to unveil his squad.
The Norwegian gave his Instagram followers a glimpse of his team and captioned his post with an apology to Ronaldo as he explained the decision to drop him.

Haaland explained that he chose family loyalty over online ratings and worked with his cousin and Belgian Pro League striker Jontan Brunes beforehand.
Brune's special card has an overall rating of 85, while the former Real Madrid striker has one of the highest ratings in the game at 94.
But it was the other players in Haaland's squad of superstars who attracted the most attention, with the 23-year-old boasting one of the most impressive squads ever seen.
Using a 4-4-2 formation, the Norwegian has built a team full of current and former legends of the game.

Roberto Carlos takes pride of place at left-back, while Real Madrid's Eder Militao also joins Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and Man City right-back Kyle Walker in defence.
Yaya Toure and Ruud Gullit occupy the central midfield positions, while former Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldinho starts on the left wing, with Kylian Mbappe on the other flank.
Haaland leads with his cousin and, at 94, has one of the best individual rankings in the world.
However, the Man City forward has struggled to find the back of the net for City of late and is without a goal in his previous two league matches.
