Watch: Pep Guardiola gives a funny comeback to Ryan Cherki's skill!

Pep Guardiola became an unexpected talking point during Manchester City’s Carabao Cup final victory over Arsenal, after his reaction to a moment of showboating from his own player stole attention.

Midfielder Ryan Cherki drew the cameras when he began juggling the ball in a flashy display of control. The Spaniard’s visible irritation at the antics quickly circulated on social media, with fans offering a mix of amusement and appreciation for the manager’s demanding standards.

The match itself ended 2–0 in City’s favour, securing the club’s ninth League Cup title—one behind record‑holders Liverpool, who have ten. But it was Guardiola’s animated response to Cherki’s trickery that lingered long after the final whistle.
