AI summary
Erling Haaland has alleged that Pablo Rosario made unwanted physical contact during Manchester City's Champions League win at Porto, with the pair clashing in the closing stages after Haaland had netted twice. The 26-year-old told Norwegian television the incident occurred as he chased a hat-trick, describing it as "a little interesting".
The match was marked by ill-discipline throughout. A confrontation near half-time involving Porto players and City staff drew attention, with Rúben Dias appearing to place a hand on Porto manager Francesco Farioli. Uefa will review the referee's report before deciding on any action.
