Leeds United fans can only dream of Champions League nights right now but there was a subtle nod to the club during Manchester City's final league phase encounterManchester City qualified for the last 16 of the 2025/26 Champions League on Wednesday night with a comfortable 2-0 victory at the Etihad Stadium. As the Manchester City striker peeled away to celebrate following his opener against Galatasaray, Haaland pounded his chest with his fist, a gesture Leeds supporters have adopted as their own 'Leeds salute'. Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight were murdered before Leeds' UEFA Cup semi-final tie against the Turkish club when Galatasaray fans attacked Leeds fans in the capital city. Leeds supporters have interpreted the celebration gesture as a mark of respect for Loftus and Speight, as well as the wider Leeds community and recognition of the striker's roots. The Whites welcome Haaland and Manchester City to Elland Road in the Premier League in just under a month's time, on February 28.
