Erling Haaland draws attention for a unusual travel companion after his team arrives in Oslo. Multiple outlets report that the Manchester City striker was seen disembarking a plane in the Norwegian capital on July 13 with a taxidermy raccoon. In photos and descriptions shared by outlets, the raccoon appears posed as if holding a bottle of alcohol, prompting questions from observers. The Athletic describes the episode as a deliberate, lighthearted moment tied to Haaland’s routines and team culture, including comments suggesting the incident is meant to be “special” rather than accidental. Yahoo Sports similarly frames the item as a taxidermy raccoon and notes that it is the raccoon’s placement and accessories—rather than any live animal—that make the sight notable. Across the coverage, the central points are that Haaland is connected to the taxidermy raccoon during the Oslo arrival, that it is presented as an object or decoration rather than a living animal, and that the moment is treated as humorous and memorable by those around him. No reports in the provided articles indicate safety issues or broader controversy.
