Why has Pep Guardiola appeared on stage with Noel Gallagher? The Man City boss was spotted behind the rockstar at a Royal Albert Hall charity gig last night, but the former Oasis songwriter can explain!

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was spotted on stage as Noel Gallagher performed during the Teenage Cancer Trust show at the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday night.

Gallagher has made no secret of the fact that he is a City super-fan following his rise to fame with Oasis in the 1990s, before forming another band, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, in 2011.

He has also taken a particular shine to Guardiola since the Spaniard's arrival at the Etihad Stadium in 2016, and some may have briefly thought he had convinced the 53-year-old manager to join him on stage on Thursday after he was pictured behind Gallagher.
