Haaland entertains guests with viking row celebration at Donnarumma’s wedding
Donnarumma recently tied the knot with his long-time partner Alessia Elefante in a big wedding ceremony in Italy.
The wedding was a star-studded affair, with prominent Italian football figures such as Sandro Tonali, Nicolo Barella, Haaland and Paolo Maldini in attendance to celebrate with the Man City goalkeeper.
The couple, who have been together since 2016, met in their shared hometown of Castellammare di Stabia, near Naples.

In the clip, Haaland enthusiastically beats a drum to set the rhythm while dozens of formally dressed guests sit on the floor, mimicking a rowing motion and chanting along.
The "Viking Row" became a viral sensation during the World Cup, popularised by Icelandic fans.
The celebration involves a leader setting a beat with a drum, followed by a crowd rowing in unison.
The trend was later adopted by Haaland's national teammates, led by Martin Odegaard, after a victory over Brazil.
At the wedding, Haaland, who recently turned 26, appeared to be thoroughly enjoying himself.
He was seen laughing and even paused to give instructions to one of the participants on how to perform the celebration correctly.
