Guardiola reportedly recognized the individuals as professional autograph hunters, who collect signed memorabilia like jerseys and other items to resell for profit. He was visibly upset, calling out what he sees as an unfair way of making money.

After the heated exchange, Guardiola left the parking lot, leaving the fans visibly embarrassed and empty-handed.

Meanwhile, Guardiola has recently steadied Manchester City’s performance. After a poor run of form, the team has managed to win three consecutive matches, improving the mood among their supporters.

Despite this turnaround, City remains in sixth place in the Premier League table. They trail league leaders Liverpool by 12 points but are just two points away from the Champions League qualification spots.
