Pep Guardiola was spotted having a hilarious exchange with a Manchester City fan during their Premier League clash against Newcastle United.
On Saturday night at the Etihad Stadium, champions City were looking to make it two wins out of two against Eddie Howe’s Magpies, who were 5-1 winners last week against Aston Villa.After what was a cagey start to the match, City found the go-ahead goal thanks to a brilliant Julian Alvarez strike in the 31st minute.
During the second half, Newcastle started to get themselves into the game which left City fans slightly worried.
City boss Guardiola was then spotted having an altercation with a fan, in which he appeared to ask the fan to take his place on the bench.Fans were quick to react on social media.
One said: “Pep Guardiola has an altercation with a fan. He is saying something like that he should come and take his place on the bench!”
Another tweeted: “Pep Guardiola to the fans: "if you think you're better than me come here and do my job"
A third fan added: “Pep telling a fan to come and manage the team.”
Someone else wrote: “Pep Guardiola telling a fan who asked him to make some changes to come and do it himself.”Whilst a fifth commented: “Pep Guardiola just told a fan in the stands to come sit in his seat if he thinks he could do a better job.”
Another fan said: “Pep Guardiola signals to a fan in the stands to come and take his seat if he knows better!”City eventually managed to hold out to win 1-0 against a stubborn Newcastle side to make it six points out of six.
Guardiola's men will be back in action next Sunday as they take on Sheffield United.
