Pep Guardiola delivers hilarious moment in press conference after Man City beat Brentford
Published 21:59 9 May 2026 GMT+1
The Premier League title race will go down to the wire, but Pep Guardiola is making light of it.
Pep Guardiola has launched a hilariously desperate plea ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League clash tomorrow.
Guardiola’s men prevailed in today’s Premier League match against Brentford — a comprehensive 3-0 victory that didn’t reflect an initially cagey opening 60 minutes.
Jérémy Doku opened the scoring with a stunning curler into the net’s upper echelons, a near-perfect mirror image of his late equaliser against Everton in last Monday’s 3-3 draw.
Arsenal will visit a relegation-battling West Ham tomorrow with just three games remaining in the Premier League title race, looking to extend their current two-point lead at the top.
As the Cityzens look to return to Premier League glory — after Liverpool’s 2024/25 title win disrupted a Guardiola-led four-peat — the Manchester City coach launched a hilarious plea directed at West Ham ahead of their clash with Arsenal tomorrow.
Pep Guardiola's hilarious post-match plea
Speaking after the match to reporters, the Spaniard animatedly yelled “Come on you Irons” before departing from the conference.
West Ham, currently placed 18th in the Premier League table, are fighting for survival in a tense race with Tottenham Hotspur, with both London clubs separated by just one point.
Nuno Espírito Santo’s men have taken seven points from their last four games, including a late 2-1 victory over Everton and a crushing 4-0 win against already-relegated Wolves.
West Ham have prior experience of knocking Arsenal out of title races, notably holding the Gunners to a 2-2 draw — in which Bukayo Saka missed a crucial penalty — in April 2023 during Mikel Arteta’s first serious title charge.
Guardiola’s side will surely be watching tomorrow, hoping for history to repeat itself, with the Spanish coach now making his West Ham allegiance known to reporters.
Manchester City return to Premier League action next Wednesday as they take on Crystal Palace at home, in what is quickly shaping up to be one of the competition’s all-time tightest races.
