Pep Guardiola has once again sparked reactions after a tongue in cheek comment in an interview about a corner incident involving David Raya, joking that Manchester City were “honoured” to make the first foul at a Premier League corner.
The remark, shared via Fabrizio Romano official x handle, carried Guardiola’s usual mix of humour and competitive edge, as he added that every small detail feels like “another record, another title” in a relentless season.
Romano reported;
Pep Guardiola: “I am so happy that we have the honour of making the first foul in Premier League at a corner to Raya, we have this privilege!”. “Another record, another title…”.

Beyond the light-hearted comment, Guardiola’s attention remains firmly on squad evolution and emotional moments within the team. He has openly backed rising talent Nico O’Reilly for top young player recognition after a breakthrough campaign that has seen him step up in key matches and earn growing praise from the City hierarchy.
At the same time, Softfootball has mentioned that there is a more emotional side to the Manchester City camp, with Guardiola also reacting to the departure of club icon Bernardo Silva. His influence, leadership, and consistency have made him a central figure in the dressing room, and his exit marks the end of an important chapter in City’s modern era.
Overall, it reflects a season where Manchester City continue to dominate headlines both on and off the pitch—balancing humour, success, emerging stars, and emotional farewells, all under Guardiola’s ever-present competitive drive.
