Guardiola jealous of Man Utd
According to British newspaper Sportmail, Guardiola was very excited at the press conference after defeating Leipzig 7-0 in the second leg of the 1/8 round, thereby entering the quarterfinals with a total score of 8-1 in the Champions League.
Here, the Spanish coach revealed three idols, including golf legend Tiger Woods, NBA legend Michael Jordan and actress Roberts. Guardiola said he was disappointed when the American actress visited and attended Old Trafford instead of Etihad, when traveling to England in 2016.
"A few years ago, Roberts went to Manchester, not in the 1990s when Sir Alex Ferguson won countless titles with Man Utd," he said. "Roberts came to Manchester at a time when City were doing better than Man Utd, in those four or five years, didn't she? But she came to visit Man Utd, instead of us."
The 52-year-old coach then joked that winning the Champions League with Man City also did not help him to overcome this sadness of being turned away by this idol. "I'm a loser in the Champions League. Even if I win the Champions League three times in a row, I'll still be a loser," said Guardiola.
Roberts was the highest-paid actress in the world during the 1990s and first half of the 2000s. She won three Golden Globe Awards and was nominated for four Academy Awards, including winning the Best Actress category. excellence" for her performance in the 2000 film Erin Brockovich. People magazine has honored Roberts five times as the most beautiful woman in the world.
In November 2016, the American actress attended Man Utd's 1-1 draw with West Ham at Old Trafford. At that time, Roberts watched the match live with her husband and cameraman Daniel Moder and three children - who are said to be Man Utd fans. After the match, she went down to the pitch to take photos and met Man Utd legend Wayne Rooney and his wife Coleen, and midfielder Michael Carrick.
Victory over Leipzig yesterday helped Man City enter the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the sixth time in a row. Their best performance in this arena was the final in 2021, where they lost to Chelsea 0-1 because of Kai Havertz's only goal. However, Guardiola has won every domestic title with Man City, including four Premier Leagues, one FA Cup, four League Cups, two English Super Cups.
