Manchester City star Erling Haaland experienced an unexpected disturbance during his summer break in Marbella, Spain.
As reported by The Sun, the prolific Norwegian forward was at the popular Playa Padre beach club when he found himself in the midst of a police raid.
During ‘Operation Marbella’, Spanish police have been conducting surprise checks on beach clubs to fight organised crime.
Haaland, along with other tourists, was asked to show his ID to cops during the raid.
Despite the startling nature of the raid, it was a routine check, and Haaland was not accused of any wrongdoing.
