Erling Haaland was reunited with former teammate Andrea Norheim following Wednesday night's Champions League clash between Manchester City and RB Leipzig.

Haaland, who scored the winning goal in City's 3-2 victory on Wednesday night, bumped into childhood friend Norheim as he made his way towards the Red Bull Arena dressing room at full-time.

Before making their name in the game, Haaland and Norheim grew up together in the small Norwegian town of Bryne.

In fact, from the ages of five to 16, they played alongside each other in the youth set-up at Bryne FK, with Norheim being credited with playing a huge role in Haaland's on-pitch development.

Shortly after Haaland joined Borussia Dortmund in 2020, German newspaper BILD published an article headlined ‘Haaland learned football from a girl’, a claim Andrea was quick to play down.

“I certainly don’t want to brag that I was the one who taught him how to play football. We trained together for many years, but that’s it," she said, as per Copa 90.

“He was very small, but he has always been a good player and a goal-scoring striker. He was a year younger than the rest of us, but was moved up. He showed why he was good enough for that.”

As we all know, Haaland has gone on to become one of the world's best strikers, breaking records with Borussia Dortmund before securing a move to Manchester City.

From scoring the most goals in a single Premier League season (36) to becoming Norway's all-time leading goalscorer, it has been quite a remarkable rise for the 26-year-old striker.

Norheim, meanwhile, left Norway to join eight-time Champions League winners Lyon in 2016, when she was just 17 years old.

The defender went on to win trophies at Swedish giants with Pitea IF before enjoying spells at HB Køge, Sporting Lisbon and Bundesliga side RB Leipzig, where she currently plays.

Speaking about their reunion after Wednesday's game, Norheim confirmed they hadn't seen each other for eight years before their meeting in Germany.

"It's been a while since we last saw each other, maybe eight years. But when I spoke to him, he recognised me immediately," she told BILD.

She added: "It was fun talking to him. For me, he was still exactly the same as when we were younger. It's really cool that we're both here now. It was nice to see him play again."

Fantasy Premier League managers will no doubt be tempted to captain Erling Haaland in Gameweek 10, but here's why you should consider someone else.

The final FPL gameweek before the next international break is rapidly approaching, with the deadline for Gameweek 10 set for 18:30 on Friday ahead of Everton v Coventry City.

With that in mind, managers will be scrambling to lock in their transfers and pick their captains before the deadline passes, but there's one big reason why you shouldn't give top goalscorer Haaland the armband.

As it stands, Haaland is the second-highest-scoring player in FPL, behind only Brighton's Maxim De Cuyper, who is enjoying an incredible season thus far.

Having bagged nine goals in nine matches, putting him on top in the golden boot race, Haaland has scored a total of 68 points this season and has remained the most popular captaincy pick in every gameweek so far this season.

But in Gameweek 10 he faces Nottingham Forest away at the City Ground, a fixture that many may assume makes him a shoo-in captaincy pick once again, but the stats suggest otherwise.

Despite their poor start to the season so far, Nottingham Forest actually boast the second-best expected goals against in the Premier League at just 9.2, behind only Arsenal.

Last week they conceded just 0.45 xG in an away game against Brentford, who have been one of the better attacking sides this season.

Of course, expected stats aren't always reflective of the truth, as Nottingham Forest have actually conceded 12 goals in their nine Premier League matches, averaging 1.33 goals against per game, with only one clean sheet.

However, add the fact that Haaland hasn’t scored against Forest in the last two seasons, and it could be time to consider taking a chance on another player as captain this week.

But if not Haaland, who is worth captaining in FPL Gameweek 10?

To be clear, Haaland will almost certainly still be the most popular captain once the deadline passes on Friday afternoon and going against him is a risk.

But with risk comes potential reward, as the swing of a lesser-picked captain hauling while Haaland blanks could be massive.

That being said, here are three picks that stand out as the best options to captain if going against Haaland.

As one of this season's other standout stars, Calafiori is undoubtedly a player that should be considered for captaincy this week.

Across the first nine gameweeks, the Italian has scored 51 points with one goal, two assists and five clean sheets.

In Gameweek 10, he faces Hull City at the Emirates, a fixture that will almost certainly bring a big points haul, given the fact he was rested during the Champions League midweek.

Arsenal top both the clean sheet odds (60%) and predicted goals stats (2.7) going into Gameweek 10, with Calafiori ranked 5th for xGI (2.22) among defenders.

Teammate Gabriel Magalhaes is another strong option for captaincy this gameweek due to his threat from set-pieces and DEFCON (defensive contributions) potential, but Calafiori's attacking threat makes him stand out.

Like Haaland, Isak has been in stellar goalscoring form this season, with six league goals in eight appearances, averaging 6.6 FPL points per match.

In Gameweek 10, he faces Crystal Palace in one of the most appealing fixtures possible right now given the Eagles recent form.

Palace have conceded a league-high 21 goals in nine games, and have allowed the most shots inside the box while recording the worst expected goals conceded.

Encouragingly, the Swedish striker was named on the bench for the Champions League clash with Fenerbahce midweek, later coming on to score, meaning he has been rested enough to be a sure starter on Sunday.

And with less than a quarter of FPL managers owning Isak, captaining him for a haul could see you fly up in rank.

Of course, there are several other players that managers may be tempted to captain as a rogue pick this week in FPL.

Chelsea also have a promising fixture this week against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, so both Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers could return big scores.

Meanwhile, De Cuyper, despite having a less favourable fixture against Brentford, always threatens to haul given his stellar form.
