Erling Haaland stood outside NASA when a drone came flying straight for his head. Modelling Manchester City's new away kit at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Haaland had to remain still as the club shot footage with Apollo's Little Joe II rocket as a backdrop.
The drone briefly looked like veering off course. Haaland took evasive action, nonchalantly swaying clear. Hopefully someone present relayed the hulking figure's aptitude for instinct in small spaces to Pep Guardiola.
City, meanwhile, will not expect Haaland and Little Joe II's journeys to collide: the rocket, built in the 1960s, was designed to test abort modes in space.
