Speaking to Sky Sportsafter the final whistle, Haaland made it clear that he believes the outcome would have been different had he chosen to exaggerate the contact. The striker stated: "I think if I fell on the floor there, which I would not do unless someone really attacks me, I think maybe it would be a red card. I’m not sure. I haven’t seen the situation to be honest but it is what it is. I will not fall on the floor as easy as this. Yellow card for me, I don’t know why. He [Gabriel] comes up to my face, it is what it is."
