Guardiola's Manchester City Meltdown: Amazon Doc Reveals Tumultuous Season
Pep Guardiola's tenure at Manchester City was marked by turmoil, according to a new Amazon Prime documentary. The film, 'A Beautiful Obsession,' chronicles the past two seasons of the team and reveals a heated exchange between Guardiola and captain Kyle Walker.
The argument occurred during a poor run in the autumn of 2024 when Manchester City lost nine times and won only once in 13 games. Guardiola was visibly strained, scratching his face after a disappointing draw with Feyenoord in the Champions League.
Behind closed doors, Guardiola clashed with Walker, who felt he was being unfairly singled out. 'You keep saying my name in every meeting,' complained Walker. 'Every fucking meeting it's my name. You've somehow brought my name into it.'
Guardiola responded by acknowledging that Walker took the issue too personally but also showed signs of emotion as he explained why he had extended his contract despite their poor run.
