The Brazilian posted on his Instagram this morning with two pictures of that fan – one when he trolled Arsenal with a ‘bottler’ joke and one as he watched on last night as Man City’s draw with Bournemouth confirmed the Gunners as champions.

It was a particularly poor performance from City last night as they were perhaps also distracted by the rumours about Guardiola leaving the club at the end of the season.
