Erling Haaland, the Manchester City star, admitted that he is eagerly awaiting the release of Grand Theft Auto VI.
According to the footballer, after matches he often plays video games, and the Grand Theft Auto series has long been among his favorites. In a recent interview, he did not hesitate to choose GTA as the game he would want to take to a desert island, adding that the sixth installment is the one he is looking forward to the most.
Haaland has not shown his love for games for the first time. Earlier, he said that while preparing for important matches, he relaxed in his hotel room with a gamepad, playing Grand Theft Auto V instead of taking part in football simulators with his teammates.
Athletes' interest in games underscores their influence on mass culture. Grand Theft Auto VI remains one of the industry's most anticipated releases, and, judging by Haaland's words, he will spend dozens of hours in the new game world after its release.
