A viral video has surfaced showing Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola’s heated response to a provocative comment from a passerby.
In the 24-second clip, Guardiola, dressed in a grey suit and carrying bags, is seen walking down a street when a man filming him makes a sarcastic remark, saying, “Mate, just because you lost.”
Guardiola’s demeanor immediately changes as he turns to confront the individual. Although restrained by two people accompanying him, Guardiola’s frustration is evident as he retorts, “Do you know what is lost? You want me to sign you?” The man continues to trail Guardiola, who remains visibly upset by the encounter.
The incident is believed to have occurred following Manchester City’s defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup final in May. Guardiola’s outfit in the video matches the one he wore at Wembley, where Manchester United triumphed with goals from Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho.
The footage has sparked mixed reactions online, with some defending Guardiola’s reaction as understandable given the provocation, while others have criticized it as inappropriate for someone of his stature.
