Pep Guardiola reduced to tears during heated Kyle Walker row at Man City

Pep Guardiola was reportedly left fighting back tears during an emotional confrontation with former Manchester City captain Kyle Walker, according to the Daily Star. The incident followed City’s 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in December 2024, when Walker confronted Guardiola over repeated criticism.

The heated exchange is featured in Prime Video’s new documentary, A Beautiful Obsession, which covers Guardiola’s final seasons at the club. Guardiola told his players he wanted them to speak openly if they believed he was the problem, insisting his decision to extend his contract was driven by his desire to continue fighting for the team.
