ERLING HAALAND’S dad was escorted from his VIP box at the Bernabeu last night.
That’s after reportedly “insulting and throwing food at Real Madrid fans.”
The father of Man City’s star striker made the trip to Spain’s capital for last night’s Champions League thriller.
Wonder strikes from Vinicius Jr and Kevin de Bruyne saw the two sides play out an epic 1-1 draw in the first leg of their semi-final showdown.
Things certainly became spicy on the pitch, with five yellow cards dished out — including one for Real boss Carlo Ancelotti.
But it also kicked off up in the gods as Haaland’s dad reportedly clashed with Real fans while watching the game from his box.
