Manchester City
After getting enraged by a Man City player during the Community Shield victory over Manchester United, Pep Guardiola storms down the tunnel.
After Manchester City defeated Manchester United in the Community Shield, Pep Guardiola was incensed by what he seen from his team.
With the game tied at zero points at halftime, referee Jarred Gillett sounded his whistle, and the Citizens manager angrily hurled a water bottle to the ground.
When the halftime whistle blew, Guardiola slammed a water bottle into the ground.
The Premier League champions dominated possession in the first half, even hitting the post with James McAtee.
But in a very uneventful first half, the Etihad team found it difficult to generate many clear-cut opportunities.
TV cameras also saw Guardiola venting his annoyance on a water bottle, from which his vivacious antics extended into the Wembley tunnel.

He was spotted making gestures with goalkeeping coach Xabi Mancisido. Fans claimed on social media that shot-stopper Ederson had upset the Spaniard.
Guardiola’s outburst came shortly after the Brazilian booted a long pass attempt out of play just before the halftime whistle.
Saudi Arabia had expressed interest in Ederson, who had been linked to a move away from City.
However, none of the Middle Eastern teams met City’s demands, since the team was seeking a cost above £40 million.
Guardiola’s response sparked immediate commentary from City supporters, who agreed with his apparent assessment of Ederson’s error.
On X, a supporter wrote: “We are thrilled to see it. He needs to step up because…”
Someone else remarked, “That’s my coach.”
