Mystery over Guardiola’s famous meme ends: who he was talking to | OneFootball

Pep Guardiola said goodbye to Manchester City after a historic 10-year spell and 20 titles. And, amid the farewell, the mystery behind his famous meme was revealed—the one in which he seemed to be talking to himself…

A video of the iconic Spanish coach went viral: he was on the bench, talking to himself. During the farewell event, Bernardo Silva even asked him about that moment.

“The question is, Pep, everyone wants to know… Who are you talking to here?”, he said on stage. At that moment, the coach couldn’t hold back his laughter and avoided answering.

Shortly afterward, the mystery was revealed. The official FA Cup account on X shared the full sequence: he was with two staff members, who were watching his explanation closely.

Pep Guardiola’s departure from Manchester City marks the end of a glorious era for the Citizens. The Spanish manager, who will leave the club after 10 years and 20 titles, will be honored with a stand bearing his name and a statue at the Etihad Stadium.

Guardiola racked up trophies at Manchester City. Over the last decade, he celebrated 20 titles: one Champions League (2022/23), one UEFA Super Cup (2023), one Club World Cup (2023), six Premier League titles (2017/18, 2018/19, 2020/21, 2021/22, 2022/23, 2023/24), five League Cups (2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20, 2020/21, 2025/26), three FA Cups (2018/19, 2022/23, 2025/26) and three Community Shields (2018, 2019, 2024).
