During the match between Manchester City and RB Leipzig, a heated discussion between Pep Guardiola and his player Riyad Mahrez went viral on social media. The video shows Guardiola calling Mahrez over to the sidelines in the second half, where he gives him instructions in an emotional and intense manner, reportedly shouting at him and using hand gestures that express his severe anger, according to the British newspaper "Metro."
Mahrez performed well during the match, contributing to his team's victory with a score of 6-3 against Leipzig, scoring the team's third goal. This was also his first time starting this season, and he managed to play the full match.
Additionally, another video from the same match shows Guardiola expressing similar anger towards Jack Grealish, the new signing from Aston Villa for a record fee exceeding 100 million euros, who also scored in the game.
After the match, Guardiola explained why he yelled at Mahrez and Grealish, stating, "We talked at halftime about the way we had to play, and they did not do that. But this happens in football."
It is worth noting that Manchester City achieved a significant win over Leipzig, with a final score of 6-3 at the Etihad Stadium for Group A, which was topped by the reigning English champion at the end of the matchday.
