Marc Cucurella lived to regret his Euro 2024 jibe at Erling Haaland early into Chelsea's clash with Manchester City.

It took last season's Premier League top goalscorer just 18 minutes to open his account and get on the scoresheet against the Blues at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Rewind to Spain's 2-1 win over England in the Euro 2024 final, Cucurella had a cheeky jibe at the Man City striker.

"Haaland you'd better tremble, Cucurella is coming," the Spaniard sang into a mic on stage at La Roja's celebrations.

And fans on social media have been quick to point that out.

"Cucurella gets bullied and can't deal with Haaland letting him score, who's singing now! Some people write their own fate," one wrote on X.

"Football script writers are so predictable cause Haaland scoring a goal with Cucurella defending on him was the most obvious thing ever," a second joked.
