Guardiola goes viral for hilarious celebrati
Posted Sunday, November 06, 2022 by Thesun.co.uk
PEP GUARDIOLA left fans in hysterics with his reaction to Erling Haaland's winner for Manchester City against Fulham.
The Norwegian superstar, 22, scored a stoppage-time penalty to hand the champions a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Cottagers at the Etihad.
Guardiola celebrated in front of the Man City fans
And as the Man City players celebrated Haaland's spot kick, the camera cut to Guardiola on the touchline.
The Spaniard, who caught the eye earlier on when he appeared to have a heated exchange with Joao Cancelo following his sending off, could be seen passionately lapping up the jubilant scenes in front of the City supporters.
But he then uncharacteristically looked straight down the barrel of the camera and pumped his fist while holding a water bottle.
Walking onto the pitch after the final whistle, he then pushed the camera away in another comical moment.
Football fans could not believe their luck as Guardiola - who has previously given online users many meme-worthy moments - gave them another couple to use in the future.
Reacting on Twitter, one said: "Naaa pep is the meme goat 😂 defo knows what he’s doing."
Another added: "How can you not love this man? ðŸ˜"
A third said: "Pep Guardiola is the meme that just keeps on giving."
While a Man City fan added: "Make no mistake, Pep Guardiola loves this football club."
City's dramatic late win takes them back to the top of the Premier League table.
But Arsenal will leapfrog them yet again if they can beat London rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Guardiola's men host Chelsea in the Carabao Cup in midweek, before their final pre-World Cup game coming at home to Brentford next Saturday.
Meanwhile, Arsenal travel to Wolves in their final league match before the domestic break.
