Pep Guardiola hilariously insists that he will always be a 'FAILURE' at Man City even if he wins three Champions Leagues in a row... because his 'idol' Julia Roberts opted to visit Old Trafford instead

Pep Guardiola has urged that he will always be a failure at Manchester City even if he brings three consecutive Champions League trophies to the Etihad, because his side were once snubbed by his long-time idol Julia Roberts.

The manager was in high spirits during the bizarre and entertaining interview on Tuesday, delighted with his side's 7-0 mauling of RB Leipzig at the Etihad, which sent Manchester City through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Guardiola revealed that Roberts is one of his three idols, alongside golf legend Tiger Woods and NBA all-time great Michael Jordan, and subsequently claimed he will always be a failure at Manchester City, as the Hollywood star chose to visit Old Trafford rather than the Etihad when she travelled to England years ago.
