Football enthusiasts were left astounded when Erling Haaland, standing at 6 feet 4 inches, appeared diminutive in a photo taken alongside former basketball star Mamadou Ndiaye, who measures an impressive 7 feet 6 inches. The Senegalese talent, who went undrafted in the 2016 NBA draft, crossed paths with the Manchester City team following their victory against West Ham.

This snapshot rapidly gained viral status on social media, leaving soccer fans bewildered at how a single individual could make Haaland appear so petite. In jest, one fan even likened Haaland’s size to that of a Borrower, quipping, “No way he made Haaland look small,”

Another shared, “Nah, Haaland actually looks like he’s one of the borrowers in this photo!”

A third astonished supporter commented, “Bernardo Silva looks tiny and Haaland looks far less imposing. Absolutely crazy,” a shocked third said. And another added: “It’s satisfying to see Haaland looking like this…”

Mamadou Ndiaye himself shared the image on his social media platform with the caption, “Let’s get it!!!” It seems that Ndiaye has made a post-basketball career out of making tall individuals feel diminutive, as evidenced by a viral moment in July when he stood over Deontay Wilder.

Formula 1 fans may also recall Ndiaye’s appearance alongside 5-foot-3 driver Yuki Tsunoda back in January, during a gathering thought to have taken place at Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai.

Let’s get it!!!💯💯👌🏿👌🏿🇬🇧 https://t.co/QWhEb08kKv
