Pep Guardiola Seizes 60 Bottles of Champagne After Manchester City Eliminated Real Madrid in the Champions League

Liputan6.com, Jakarta – Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola kept his squad’s victory celebrations under control after beating Real Madrid. After securing a place in the Champions League final, the Spanish tactician confiscated 60 bottles of champagne from The Citizens stars.

As previously reported, Manchester City won 4-0 in the second leg of the Champions League semifinals at the Etihad Stadium, last Thursday (18/5/2023). The result made the British representatives win 5-1 on aggregate over Real Madrid.

After the resounding win over Real Madrid, Pep Guardiola wants to make sure his treble-chasing squad stays focused on the next challenge. As a result, he confiscated dozens of bottles of champagne.

Report from DailyMail (via Daily Star) says the champagne was accidentally left in the dressing room by hospitality staff. However, Guardiola wasted no time in ensuring that this was immediately removed.

Guardiola clearly intends to keep his squad focused until the first title is won among the potential three, namely the Champions League and FA Cup finals. Manchester City players can finally celebrate after Arsenal lost 0-1 to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, 20 May.

This result made Manchester City win the 2022/2023 Premier League title. This is the fifth Premier League title in the last six seasons.
