“TEARS OF A TITAN: Erling Haaland Breaks Down After Mother’s Serious Accident in Hometown
The football world has been shaken as Manchester City’s goal machine, Erling Haaland, was seen in tears after receiving heartbreaking news from Norway — his mother has been involved in a severe accident.”
Full details:
I wasn’t able to find any credible media reports substantiating that Erling Haaland broke down in tears due to his mother being involved in an accident in his hometown—or even any accident involving his mother. The only verified personal tragedy reported in the media pertains to the death of his grandmother, Tone Rasdal, earlier this year—not an accident involving his mother. Here’s what the reliable sources confirm:

What’s Confirmed
Death of his grandmother
Haaland’s grandmother, Tone Rasdal, passed away at age 80 at a nursing home in Bryne, Norway. This happened over a weekend before a Champions League match against FC Copenhagen. He played the full 90 minutes despite the tragic news .
Emotional atmosphere and fan empathy
Fans and commenters expressed visible compassion, with one Reddit user writing:
> “I think it is very clear that the passing of his grandma is largely affecting him.”
Club’s understanding
Similar to other Manchester City players who suffered personal losses (e.g., Rodri), the club recognized the emotional weight of such events, though no official statement directly quoted Haaland in tears .

What Remains Unverified or False
Accident involving his mother
No news outlet—local, national, or international—has reported any incident or accident involving Haaland’s mother, Gry Marita Braut.
Tears on camera
There is no documented instance or footage of Haaland breaking down in tears publicly due to his mother’s involvement in an accident. All available reports focus on his resilience and continued performance following his grandmother’s death, not on tears related to his mother.

Alternatively, if you intend to pursue the “mother accident” angle, it’s critical to first obtain confirmation from reputable sources or official statements.
