When Pep Guardiola received a parking penalty for leaving his car on a double yellow line on Monday, he had a humorous interaction with the traffic warden.

On Saturday night, the Spaniard, whose Manchester City team narrowly defeated Newcastle United to maintain their unbeaten start to the Premier League season, took a hit off the field after he was seen and heard obtaining a parking ticket in Manchester.

A traffic warden issued Guardiola a ticket and then requested a picture of him as he made his way back to his car.

The Man City manager responded in jest, as shown on TikTok, “You want a picture? You must pay for the image!

The humorous incident happened when Guardiola was seen making jokes with a Man City supporter during their game against Newcastle.

The Catalan said that perhaps the fan need to sit in the dugout and try it himself after the fan pleaded for a substitution late in the game.

Guardiola praised his squad for their tenacity in his postgame remarks after having the players do a lap of honor at the Etihad Stadium.

A jubilant Guardiola exclaimed, “This game was proof of why we have won a lot.” He then motioned for his team to celebrate their victory in front of the crowd.

“The players’ mindset and mentality never ceases to astound me.” Considering the circumstances of our arrival—injuries and lack of sleep—they performed really well. The level of dedication was astounding.

Guardiola’s expectations are higher than ever after winning the Triple Crown last season, but he is aware that it will be very hard to duplicate the achievement.

Despite his concerns about parking tickets off the field, he will be hopeful that things go smoothly on the field.
