Erling Haaland was pictured heading for dinner with his partner Isabel Haugseng Johansen in Paris after missing out on the Ballon d’Or award.<\/p>\n
The Man City striker was pipped to the prize\u00a0 by Lionel Messi, despite his record breaking debut season for the Premier League side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haaland scored 52 goals in 53 games last season, as Man City won a historic treble consisting of the league title, the FA Cup and the Champions League.<\/p>\n
However, Messi as expected took the Ballon d’Or prize, after he finally led Argentina to glory in the World Cup in Qatar last December.<\/p>\n
After the ceremony, Haaland let his hair down as he went out for a meal with his girlfriend in Paris.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Johansen, who has been in a relationship with Haaland since his days at Borussia Dortmund, accompanied Haaland to the Ballon d’Or ceremony on Monday evening\u00a0<\/p>\n

Johansen, who is a footballer herself, is believed to have met Haaland at the youth academy at Norwegian club Bryne, and started dating when he was at Borussia Dortmund.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Haaland joined the club at the age of five and spent more than 10 years with the Norwegian side before later having spells at RB Salzburg, Dortmund and Man City.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Johansen moved out of her native Norway to Manchester to live with Haaland in a stylish flat in the city’s Northern Quarter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She has been more regularly seen during Haaland’s time at Man City, celebrating with him during their trophy successes last season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite finishing runner up for the main prize on Monday night, Haaland didn’t go home empty handed.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old claimed the Gerd Muller Trophy for the best striker, following his stunning debut season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was one of five Man City players to make the top ten in the rankings with Kevin De Bruyne 4th, Rodri 5th, Julian Alvarez 7th and Bernardo Silva 9th.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During the evening, he also bumped into YouTube personality IShowSpeed in which they joked about each other’s appearances.<\/p>\n
‘Let’s go, brother!’ Speed said as the pair shook hands, to which Haaland responded: ‘How are you my friend?’<\/p>\n
‘Nice to meet you finally bro!’ Speed replied.<\/p>\n

Haaland quickly changed the tune of the conversation, however, assessing Speed’s outfit choice.<\/p>\n
‘What’s with the shoes, man?’ he said, with Speed replying: ‘What’s up with your hair bro?’<\/p>\n
‘It’s nice,’ Haaland responded. ‘You don’t like it?’<\/p>\n
The two then took a photo and said their goodbyes, with Speed chanting the Manchester City forward’s name as he walked away.<\/p>\n
Haaland is showing no signs of slowing down from his excellent 2022-23 campaign, already netting 13 goals in 15 appearances so far this season.<\/p>\n
He netted twice in the Manchester Derby on Sunday, as Man City produced their most impressive display of the season to beat their local rivals 3-0.<\/p>\n
Man City, who are third in the table after ten games and are two points behind leaders Tottenham, next face Bournemouth on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
