Pep gradiola reveals what he told Bruno gumirates after facing defeat

Tensions reached boiling point during a heated and emotionally charged moment last night, as Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola found himself at the centre of two separate confrontations — one with a cameraman, and another indirectly involving Newcastle’s Joelinton, who had to be physically restrained as tempers flared.

The drama reportedly began shortly after a controversial incident on the pitch, where emotions were already running high for both sides. Guardiola, known for his passionate and animated style, was seen walking toward the tunnel when a cameraman got a little too close for his liking. According to eyewitnesses, the camera operator attempted to capture Guardiola’s reaction up close, but the manager sharply turned and confronted him.

“I asked him to move back,” Guardiola is said to have muttered afterward, visibly irritated. Those nearby claimed the camera was inches from his face, prompting a brief but intense exchange before staff members intervened. Though the confrontation ended quickly, it was enough to spark a ripple of shock through the stadium.

But the tension didn’t stop there. On the opposite side of the tunnel, Newcastle star Joelinton was locked in his own moment of fury. Still visibly emotional from an earlier incident during the match — one he clearly felt had been handled unfairly — Joelinton stormed toward the officials’ area, shouting and gesturing in frustration. His teammates immediately rushed over, grabbing his arms and pulling him back before the situation escalated even further.

Witnesses described Joelinton as “fuming,” with some saying he looked ready to confront anyone who crossed his path. The Brazilian midfielder has always been known for his passion, but this time it seemed to spill over, creating one of the wildest scenes of the evening.

Security staff and coaches quickly stepped in, guiding him away and calming him down as fans watched the chaos unfold. For a moment, it felt like the match itself had become secondary to the high-octane emotions erupting off the pitch.

In the end, neither confrontation turned physical, but both served as a powerful reminder of how intense football can be at the highest level. With emotions, pride, and season-defining pressure all colliding, even the biggest stars and most respected managers can find themselves swept up in the heat of the moment.

As the dust settles, questions will surely follow — but one thing is clear: the night will be remembered not just for the football, but for the explosive scenes that unfolded after the final whistle.
