A Mountain of Meat, Pie, and a Viking Helmet: Erling Haaland Throws an Epic Feast for His 26th Birthday After the World Cup

Erling Haaland celebrated his 26th birthday in style, showing off a lavish feast while on vacation following the conclusion of the World Cup.

The Manchester City star played a pivotal role for Norway during this summer's tournament in the US, Canada, and Mexico, leading his country to its best-ever World Cup run before falling to England in the quarterfinals.

Knowing there are only a few weeks left before the new Premier League season kicks off, Haaland decided to recharge his batteries and headed out on a well-deserved vacation—unwinding on the waves of Sardinia alongside his girlfriend, Isabel Haugseng Johansen.

On social media, the birthday boy offered a glimpse of the incredible spread he was about to dig into.

Set against a picturesque seascape, the table boasted generous portions of grilled meat on the bone, a mountain of sausages, pancakes, eggs, bagels, fruit, and a tower of pastries and desserts.

Erling also shared a picture of himself relaxing on the yacht wearing a horned Viking helmet, captioning it simply: “26 years. Living good.”

The 6,000-Calorie Secret: What’s Inside the "Monster’s" Diet?

Haaland is famous for maintaining one of the most extreme diets in the Premier League, consuming a whopping average of 6,000 calories a day to keep his physical conditioning at its peak.

The City striker’s daily routine regularly features cow hearts and liver.

As seen on his YouTube channel, his grocery list frequently includes massive BBQ steaks, honey, and milk. The Norwegian is particularly obsessed with milk—especially raw milk—once famously dubbing it his “magic potion.”

Erling likes to pair milk with a breakfast of eggs on sourdough bread alongside a cup of coffee sweetened with maple syrup. For lunch, the goalscorer often opts for sea bass with asparagus and egg fried rice.
