Haaland Leads Premier League Halloween as Joker in Manchester

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland celebrated Halloween by dressing as the Joker, donning full makeup and a purple suit to roam the streets of Manchester and prank fans, a transformation he documented on his growing YouTube channel. Haaland’s costume, inspired by Heath Ledger’s iconic portrayal, was widely praised for its authenticity and added to his off-field popularity, complementing his strong on-field performance as the Premier League’s top scorer with 11 goals in nine games this season. Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe showcased his Halloween costume as 'Art The Clown' from the horror film 'Terrifier,' sharing a video of his detailed transformation shortly after receiving his European Golden Shoe award. Both players demonstrated a playful side during Halloween 2025 while continuing to excel in their professional football careers. Additionally, Haaland is expected to return to Manchester City’s lineup after a minor injury, providing a boost for the team ahead of their match against Bournemouth. City manager Pep Guardiola also noted the possible return of midfielder Rodri following injury recovery.
