during his trip to the London Stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Haaland is among the tallest players in the Premier League and coupling his imposing presence with ferocious speed played a vital role in his record-smashing goalscoring form for Man City last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the Norway international looked minute compared to the Senegalese baller, who also dwarfed his 6ft two inch team-mate Ederson.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the most eye-catching presence in the photograph was Bernardo Silva: standing at 5ft 8 inches, the Portuguese midfielder is nearly two feet shorted than N&#8217;Diaye.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/21\/09\/75675087-12543999-image-a-30_1695285011848.jpg\"
