That followed a similar scene a week after the first-leg of the quarter final.
They then departed the pitch separately, with Foden caught chuckling as he entered the tunnel.
Pep Guardiola’s City side are favourites to sign the in-demand Dortmund striker this summer.
And that led to many speculating that Foden could have been trying to persuade the ace to line-up with him next season.
Seconds after the footage was aired, BT Sport’s Gary Lineker told BT Sport said: “I wonder what’s been said there… ‘see you next season?’”
To which Rio Ferdinand replied: “See you next year, see you next year.”
Now the Daily Telegraph has claimed the pair were not talking about a potential transfer.
They state Haaland told his rival Foden, who had found the net against Dortmund: “I’m the one who was supposed to score the goals.”
