Carlo Ancelotti’s first match in charge of Bayern at the Allianz Arena was also Pep Guardiola’s first match back at the Allianz Arena since leaving Bayern, well, two months ago. And to welcome their former boss back, the club put up this glorious banner.

If you see professional footballers running around the pitch while staring at their phones during matches this season, it’s because they’re playing Pokemon Go — a mobile game that has pretty much usurped pornography as the most popular thing on the internet in just a matter of days since its release.
Hello, Pep. I am Zlatan. Welcome to your worst Zlightmare.

Pep Guardiola was introduced to Man City fans for the first time on Sunday and it didn’t take long for one of them to shout at him about signing Lionel Messi.
A pair of underwhelming performances to start Euro 2016 earned Raheem Sterling a place on the bench and an excessive amount of criticism both from the press and social media. This has left the 21-year-old Man City player suffering a crisis of confidence. According to the Guardian, incoming City manager Pep Guardiola made a point to call Sterling in an effort to lift his spirits and reassure him in the midst of a difficult period. The following is a transcript of that conversation.Â
“I didn’t even touch him — he just laid down and started snoring, I swear.”
Man City didn’t seem terribly interested in reaching the club’s first ever Champions League final as they sleepwalked to letting Real Madrid advance on a 1-0 aggregate score. The one being a Fernando own goal in the 20th minute of the second leg. City also had just one shot on target in each leg. So you can’t even say “at least they tried” because they kind of didn’t.
The first leg of Man City and Real Madrid’s Champions League semifinal was stupendously boring and Cristiano Ronaldo had to sit in the stands and watch it like the rest of us due to a muscle injury. It quickly became clear that this was an outer ring of his own personal hell.
Since Pep Guardiola was prematurely announced as Man City’s next manager, current manager Manuel Pellegrini has led the club to a Capital One Cup title and their first ever Champions League semifinal appearance. But City’s Premier League title challenge has faltered since then, so Pellegrini has decided to make selective use of his Guardiola excuse.

Manchester City will face Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League on Tuesday and Man United in the Premier League on Sunday, so Vincent Kompany decided to blast Sergio Aguero in the face with the ball during training. This makes perfect sense. Do not question it.
Hello, Pep.
I’d like you to meet my old friend, the Capital One Cup. We first became acquainted with each other two years ago and now we have been reunited, which means I have won a trophy in 2016 and you have not. What a pity. A hilarious, wonderful pity.
