Reigning Formula One champion Verstappen shared the photo with Haaland on social media, generating a storm of reactions. Fans were caught off guard by the unexpected meeting. One joked in the comments, “We’ll get Haaland and Verstappen before GTA 6,” referencing the long-awaited Grand Theft Auto VI. Another added, “Stay humble meets simply lovely,” combining the popular catchphrases of the two stars.
Both athletes have been dominant forces in their respective sports over the past four years. Verstappen secured four consecutive F1 world titles, while Manchester City claimed four straight Premier League crowns. However, Haaland’s club faced a heavy 5-1 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday. Despite the loss, Haaland found the net, marking his 250th club goal.
Verstappen's former teammate Sergio Perez also recently met a top footballer, Sergio Ramos. The 38-year-old Spaniard used to play for Sevilla and Real Madrid respectively. The Spaniard is now said to have signed for Mexican side Monterrey.
