Over the span of 27 years and two generations, the feud between Roy Keane and the Haaland family shows no signs of easing.
The former Manchester United captain persists in critiquing Erling Haaland's performance from the Sky Sports studio, a continuation of clashes on the field with his father, Alf-Inge.
Just a few weeks ago, there was a harsh comparison of Haaland Jr.'s performance to that of a 'League Two player,' alongside suggestions that the striker behaved like a 'spoiled brat' when subbed off against Wolves—this, despite scoring four goals.
Keane's acerbic comments often target the world's deadliest goalscorer, making for compelling entertainment on Sky.
Meanwhile, Keane's premeditated knee-high lunge on Haaland Snr during a Manchester derby in 2001, seen as calculated revenge for Haaland's unsympathetic reaction to his ACL damage in 1997, remains a wince-inducing moment.
But Keane vs Haaland is just one of many simmering feuds between players that have added a tantalizing sub-plot to games in recent years.
In another intriguing saga, Maxi Lopez and Mauro Icardi, once teammates at Italian club Sampdoria and close friends off the field, found themselves entangled in a love triangle worthy of a Hollywood film. Lopez was married to the Argentine model and TV host Wanda Nara, with whom he had three children. However, their domestic bliss took a sharp turn when Wanda allegedly had an affair with Icardi. Accusations of repeated infidelity flew, and the whole ordeal played out in the courts of Argentina, attracting significant media attention. Within six months of the divorce being finalized, Wanda and Icardi tied the knot, with Icardi even getting the names of her children tattooed on his arm.
