But it is not the pairing that stunned fans, but rather the massive size difference, with many questioning how 6ft5in Haaland can be made to look small.
Bjornsson, 37, captioned the post: “Met another Viking.”
Eager fans rushed online to comment on Haaland’s downsizing.
One X user wrote: “You’re making my viking striker look tiny.”

Another said: “You look like his dad picking him up at summer soccer camp.”
Someone else added: “My bro made Haaland look like a school kid”
A fourth even requested: “I want to see you with Bernardo Silva.”
But it was all smiles in the viral snap, especially for Haaland, who had scored the only goal of the day, albeit controversially.

Football fans everywhere were left up in arms after Haaland was deemed to be in an onside position, while VAR noted that Enzo Fernandez’s blatant offside was irrelevant to the goal standing.
Pundits, commentators, and boss Michael Carrick called for an immediate explanation for the officiating debacle.
The Premier League were quick to release a statement on the incident, and Pro Ref were not far behind as they admitted the mistake – adding that Man Utd had been contacted.
Bjornsson – who played Ser Gregor ‘The Mountain’ Clegane – also posted a video earlier in the day of him panning around Old Trafford’s touchline ahead of the derby drama.
