Despite Scoring 7 Goals, ‘Failure’ Manchester City Coach Pep Guardiola Disappointed by His Oscar Winning ‘Idol’ Julia Roberts’ Snub – “Even if I Win the Champions League…”

Premier League giants Manchester City were at their rampant best against RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League game on Wednesday. They put seven past the Bundesliga team, thanks to five goals from Erling Haaland. Meanwhile, City manager Pep Guardiola seemed disappointed in a post-match press conference when he shared an incident regarding one of his idols Julia Roberts.

Manchester City is in the quarter-final of the Champions League after beating Leipzig 7-0 with an 8-1 aggregate win over two legs. They are striving for the trophy that has eluded them. City is dominating European soccer for almost a decade but is yet to win the Champions League. Guardiola wants to win the coveted cup with City and has spent millions upgrading the team.

Pep Guardiola disappointed by Julia Roberts’s snub 

While speaking to the press after the game, Guardiola shared an incident from a few years back regarding his idol Julia Roberts. Roberts visited Manchester and went on to see a game at Old Trafford instead of visiting Coty. It disappointed him, and he joked about his disappointment.

Guardiola said, “Julia Roberts years ago came to Manchester – not in the 90s when Sir Alex (Ferguson) was winning titles and titles and titles. She came in the period where we were better than United, in these four or five years, right? And she went to visit Man United.” 

“She didn’t come to see us. That’s why even if I win the Champions League, it will not compare for the fact that Julia Roberts came to Manchester and didn’t come to see us. Even if I win the Champions League, it will not compare to this disappointment I had,” the Manchester City manager added further.
