It wasn’t simply Pep Guardiola’s celebrations at Matheus Nunes’ injury-time winner final evening, it was his complete manner.
He was manic from early within the contest, when Ruben Dias conceded a penalty for his problem on Jacob Ramsey.
Every little thing about his was exaggerated. I simply received the sensation he knew final evening’s end result was big within the context of ending in a Champions League place this season.
Guardiola was additionally fairly late into his press convention afterwards.
I get the sensation he was fairly anxious about the way in which the end result was going to go and received himself wound up.
The lifetime of a – highly-paid – soccer supervisor.
