A minute later, the match was cancelled. As players rushed into the locker room to seek shelter from the lightning, VG filmed a dialogue between Grealish and Haaland.
– What did you say? Grealish says to Haaland as the players walk down the aisles toward the locker room.
– That’s why I’m here, Haaland smile.

Manchester City’s match against German giants Bayern Munich was originally scheduled to start at 01:00, but was postponed due to lightning in Green Bay. The storm was reported several days ago, and unfortunately it hit.
The kick-off was postponed for just over a quarter of an hour and 80,000 spectators here at Lambeau Field were asked to leave the stands for safety reasons.
When the match started a quarter of an hour late, it was only a short time before Haaland showed himself. Jærbuen hit the crossbar several times in the warm-up, and after just 12 minutes in the City group, he positioned himself perfectly at the first post and crossed a Grealish left wing cross into the goal.
By then, lightning had already struck several times on the heads of everyone present on the main arena of the NFL Green Bay Packers. After the match, the players were also asked to leave the field and go to the dressing room.
The match started again at 2:25, about an hour after it was called off.
Shortly before the break, Haaland put the ball in the net again, but the goal was ruled out for offside.
