Erling Haaland has been spotted giving himself an unusual reward for another profitable night's work which saw him score two goals in a comfortable win over Sparta Prague.
The Manchester City striker has made a blistering start to the campaign, with 13 strikes in 12 matches including three in three in the Champions League.
After lifting four major trophies in just two years at the Etihad Stadium, including a historic treble in his first season, Haaland seems well on his way to leading Pep Guardiola's side to yet more silverware this term.
The Cityzens are fighting on all four fronts and the Norwegian's brace guided his team to a convincing 5-0 win over their Czech opposition last night.
And the diligent Haaland decided to prioritise recovery over celebration with a trip to the cryotherapy chamber, which is believed to be capable of reaching temperatures as low as -200C.

Man City's official X, formerly Twitter account posted a picture to document the moment, featuring their no9 peeking out of a cloud of cold steam, sporting a wooly hat from the club shop, a face mask and a look of regret in his eyes.
It was accompanied by the caption: 'Ice cold @ErlingHaaland.'
Haaland is no stranger to freezing recovery methods and the Mirror reported in 2022 that the former Borussia Dortmund man had invested in a £50,000 on the walk-in ice pod for his home in Cheshire.
The Norwegian forward produced an acrobatic back-heel strike to find the back of the net at the Etihad before scoring for a second time later on in the game.
The striker received a string of plaudits for his Champions League performance on Wednesday night including from the most important man of all - his manager Guardiola.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Guardiola watched the goal back and said: 'Look at that, it's unbelievable! It's unbelievable.
'With his stature, he's so tall and so flexible - look at him! It was quite similar to the goal against Dortmund a few years ago, with Joao Cancelo's exceptional pass.
'But yeah, it's quite similar. I don't know which one is more difficult - maybe you have to ask him!'
City team-mate Phil Foden also lauded Haaland's effort post-match, suggesting he would have ended up on the treatment table had he tried a similarly acrobatic effort.

Pep Guardiola was quick to heap praise on Haaland's strike after the match
'I just spoke to him if I tried to do that I'd pull my groin,' Foden told TNT Sports. 'I don't know how he does it, I just think it's just his long legs are. He's a freak, isn't he?
'I've seen him score one similar against Borussia Dortmund. It shows he has this talent that no-one else can do.'
Haaland's athleticism was praised by former Man United defender Rio Ferdinand, who drew the comparison to legendary Swedish forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
