While many football stars in the world attract attention with supercars, billion-dollar watches or lavish parties, Erling Haaland – Manchester City’s main striker – once again made the public cry with his humanitarian actions off the field.

According to leaked information from some schools in the UK, Haaland has quietly paid off the lunch debt worth 654,000 pounds for 85 different schools. It is worth mentioning that many students in these schools had previously been denied lunch because their families did not have enough money to contribute.

The notes made the whole school silent

Unlike stars who often choose to make it public to promote their image, Haaland quietly paid off the entire debt and only left notes at the end of each bill. The content was simple, but it made many students, even teachers, cry.

A piece of paper was revealed with the words:

“No child deserves to go hungry while their friends are eating. Consider this a new beginning.”

A student recounted that, as soon as she saw the note, she burst into tears in the cafeteria. “I used to be teased by my friends for not having enough money for lunch. Today, I got to eat with my friends and know that a football player thought of me. I felt like I was saved.”

Football and social responsibility

People often only see Haaland through his devastating goals in the Premier League or Champions League. But few people know that the Norwegian star has long been famous for his quiet charitable acts.

In the context of millions of children in the UK and Europe facing a living cost crisis, school lunches have become a burden for many families. According to the report, some children are denied meals in front of their friends – a traumatic experience.

Haaland, who is receiving a huge salary at Man City, could completely ignore this fact. But the fact that he chose to act quietly, without much publicity, makes the value of that gesture special.

Truth or PR trick?

Many people are skeptical: is this a trick to polish his name before the new season? Some opinions say that the information leak from “inside sources” is actually just a way for Haaland’s media team to build the image of a “hero off the field”.

However, many teachers and parents have confirmed that they directly saw the payment from Haaland. Some schools even took pictures of the note with the striker’s signature at the end. If this is really true, it is clear that Haaland has gone against the lavish standards of many contemporary stars.

Conclusion: A bigger goal on the field

Football is considered a community sport. And Haaland’s actions this time have proven that a superstar can absolutely use his position to change the lives of unknown children.

Maybe Haaland doesn’t care about the compliments. But for thousands of students who have been denied meals because of poverty, he has scored a “goal” that no opponent can stop.

And the remaining question is: How many other players will be brave enough to do the same?
