Pep Guardiola spoke to the media ahead of Manchester City’s Champions League clash with Real Madrid, and he didn’t hold back.
In a passionate press conference, Guardiola addressed the immense pressure Xabi Alonso is under at Real Madrid.
Pep shared his experience with managing in Spain vs. England, and delivered a jaw-dropping line: “He should pee on his own. And he won’t pee perfume, so he’ll do a good job.” Pep’s message was emotional, bizarre, and perhaps loaded with meaning.
He reflected on Xabi Alonso’s journey, spoke about player power, locker room leaks, and what it takes to survive as a coach at elite clubs.
Guardiola also talked about Manchester City’s evolution and how competing at the Santiago Bernabéu always offers a true test of character. With Real Madrid’s form wavering and rumors spreading around Alonso’s future, Pep’s words might spark even more drama before this champions league match.
