International soccer legends Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and Sergio Agüero have playfully called out star striker Erling Haaland online, voicing their frustrations over his major new deal with the Supercell video game Clash of Clans.
The new social media campaign brings humor and rivalry to Clash of Clans. The Norwegian soccer superstar was announced as the Barbarian King character in Clash of Clans, one of the world’s most popular mobile games with over 2 billion downloads. The legendary Brazilians and Argentinian have claimed the deal should have been theirs, as their characters would’ve been a better fit.
Ronaldo, a three-time FIFA player of the year and twice winner of the Ballon d’Or said: “I can’t believe they put Erling Haaland in Clash of Clans. I am Ronaldo the First! Nobody tears down defenses like Ronaldo the First.”
Ronaldinho, a fellow World Cup and Ballon d’Or winner, joined in the action by saying: “I know they already have a wizard in Clash of Clans, but I create even better magic with a football at my feet.”
Sergio Agüero, a Premier League and Argentina national team legend said: “Everything I do, he does it too, whether it’s breaking records or playing video games. And now he’s in a game? Give me a break!”
Responding to the comments, Erling Haaland said: “These guys are all legends, and I’d have them in my clan any day.”
