Erling Haaland made the most of his visit to Paris for the Ballon d’Or ceremony by taking in some designer shops with his girlfriend.
The Norwegian finished second in the voting behind Lionel Messi on Monday and spent the following day shopping with his partner, Isabel Haugseng Johansen.
The pair dined at the plush L’Avenue restaurant, a short walk away from the Arc de Triomphe on Tuesday afternoon.
Considered one of the poshest eateries in Paris, albeit in an admittedly crowded field, the restaurant has a reputation for an excellent spot for people-watching.
Located across the road from a row of boutique shops, dining at L’Avenue unsurprisingly does not come cheap, with the restaurant rated as ‘££££’ on Google.

Considering Haaland is understood to be earning in the region of £400,000-per-week at City, the bill is unlikely to have proved too much of a concern for him.
Last year, the Norwegian lifted the lid on his 6,000 calories-a-day diet, which included included cow heart.
During his Parisian sojourn, he appeared to opt for something slightly more refined and shared a snap of an oyster platter.
Haaland and Johansen then moved on from L’Avenue to visit several high end shops including Dior, Isabel Marant, Off-White, and Burberry.
On Monday, the couple were pictured heading for dinner after the Ballon d’Or ceremony.
The City striker was pipped to the prize by Messi despite his record-breaking debut season for the Premier League champion.
Haaland scored 52 goals in 53 games last season, as City won 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.

Haaland, however, didn’t go home empty handed.
The 23-year-old claimed the Gerd Muller Trophy for the best striker, following his stunning debut season.
‘It’s my job, that’s why I’m here. It’s what I’m good at,’ Haaland said of his goalscoring exploits.
‘If I had to give my advice I’d say stay hungry, be in the moment, stay sharp. This feeling is an amazing feeling and I had it quite a few times last season, and I want to chase this feeling.’
He was one of five Man City players to make the top ten in the rankings with Kevin De Bruyne 4th, Rodri 5th, Julian Alvarez 7th and Bernardo Silva 9th.
And Messi backed him to go one better next year.

‘Haaland and [Kylian] Mbappe will win the Ballon d’Or one day.
‘Erling deserved it very much too, he has won [the] Premier League, [and] the Champions League while being the top scorer of everything.
‘This award could have been yours today too. I’m sure in the next years you will win it.’
