ERLING HAALAND brutally blanked Marc Cucurella after the Chelsea star was hit with cramp.

The pair seem to be building a feud after Cucurella mocked the striker with a funny song earlier this summer.

After winning the Euros with Spain the Chelsea defender sang about “Haaland trembling” when he goes near him.

But it was Cucurella who lost out when the pair met at Stamford Bridge on the opening weekend.

It took Haaland just 18 minutes to make Cucurella eat his words as he shrugged off the defender before dinking the ball into the back of the net.

The Norwegian then landed another blow on his opponent by refusing to help when he had cramp.

Cucurella fell to the ground clutching his leg and called out to Haaland, who continued walking past without giving him aid.

Team-mate Pedro Neto came to help the stricken Cucurella as fans enjoyed the ‘s***housery’ on display from Haaland.

One reacted saying: “Football is so scripted Cucurella went from singing this to getting cramp and asking Haaland to help him.

“Bro just walked straight past him and started laughing I love this game.”

Another added: “As if I just seen Cucurella begging Haaland to help his cramp and Haaland smiled and walked off Just love to see it.”

A third wrote: “Love Haaland walking past Cucurella when he asks for help with cramp ”

Haaland did not stop his torment there and after the game fired another dig at the Chelsea defender.

He said: “Well, Cucurella is a funny man. Last season he asked for my shirt… and this summer he sings a song about me.”

Harry Redknapp's 2024/25 season predictions

TOP FOUR
ARSENAL, MANCHESTER CITY, LIVERPOOL and TOTTENHAM — and I’ve got a really strong feeling for Arsenal this season. A few of Man City’s star players are getting a bit older. There’s been nothing between the two teams over the past two years.

RELEGATION
EVERTON (18th), SOUTHAMPTON (19th), LEICESTER (20th) — I like Sean Dyche and Everton are a great club with brilliant, knowledgeable fans. They’re just badly run. They need to go down to rebuild to come back again. But the key is new owners.

TOP SCORER
ERLING HAALAND — I can’t see anyone taking his crown off him. He’s a goal machine, isn’t he? If I can get him at evens, I might lump on!

MOST ASSISTS
MARTIN ODEGAARD — He’ll be the catalyst for Arsenal’s surge to the title. I can see it now. He’s a superb player and he makes it look so easy.

CARABAO CUP
TOTTENHAM — Ange Postecoglou will break Spurs’ trophy curse. Most big teams will mess about with this trophy, but Tottenham will go full steam.

FA CUP
LIVERPOOL — I fancy Arne Slot to stamp his mark on English football quickly and there’s few better ways to do it than lifting this famous old trophy.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
REAL MADRID — Carlo Ancelotti is bullish about their chances. He has said that with Kylian Mbappe, it’s the best team they’ve had for a long time.

EUROPA LEAGUE
MANCHESTER UNITED — Clubs seem to have stopped sneering at this competition. And Spurs and United should be going both barrels for it.

CONFERENCE LEAGUE
CHELSEA — The Luxembourg champions could be dangerous! Joking aside, the Blues must win it.
