pep rant reijnders
A clip has surfaced from the new Manchester City documentary showing Pep Guardiola making an example of AC Milan to Tijjani Reijnders.
Last season was Guardiola’s final one as the head coach of City, and it was an incredible ride. The Spaniard won 20 major trophies during his 10-year tenure as manager there, including a Champions League and six Premier League titles.

However, they were unable to win either in 2025-26, and there were some turbulent times it seems. In City’s newest four-part docuseries ‘A Beautiful Obsession’ – which premiered on Prime Video this month – there is a peek into Guardiola’s final two turbulent and emotional seasons at the club.
During one of the exchanges, an angry Guardiola utters the following: “The big question is, for all Man City players from last season, do you want to play last season? Do you want to believe the last season we had?
“Do you want to play the last season you had at f***ing Milan, that you didn’t qualify for Europe? You want it? You wanna do that? Remind yourselves if you want to live or relive last season. If you don’t want it, you will win my friends.”
As a reminder, Reijnders moved from Milan to Manchester City in the 2025 summer window, with the Dutchman being a sacrifice after failing to qualify for any European competition. He has already departed though, heading for Saudi Arabia, generating a nice sell-on.
