No early night for Erling! Man City star Haaland ditches bow tie and lets his hair down for romantic dinner in Paris with girlfriend Isabel Johansen after slipping out of Ballon d'Or ceremony

Erling Haaland was pictured heading for dinner with his partner Isabel Haugseng Johansen in Paris after missing out on the Ballon d'Or award.

The Man City striker was pipped to the prize by Lionel Messi, despite his record breaking debut season for the Premier League side.

Haaland scored 52 goals in 53 games last season, as Man City won a historic treble consisting of the league title, the FA Cup and the Champions League.

However, Messi as expected took the Ballon d'Or prize, after he finally led Argentina to glory in the World Cup in Qatar last December.
