6. Few know that he has the career of physiotherapist. And that he is a total lover of languages. . . . Fluent in Spanish, Catalan, English, German, French and Italian. He has forced his players at City to speak Englishsince the talks and instructions are always carried out in that language.

8. He who is an idol for many, has three idols above all: Athletes Michael Jordan y Tiger Woods and the actress Julia Roberts, of which he is a great admirer. Months ago, Pep was disappointed when the American actress visited the facilities of the United and not those of City.

10. One of his most passionate fans is Uli Hoeness. The former president of Bayernthe team that Guardiola coached, only saves -according to him- three football memories: two shirts from his time as a youth soccer player… and a photograph dedicated by Pep. Every three months, Hoeness sends you 10 kilos of sausages “So that I have something decent to eat in England.” Guardiola leaves no one indifferent.
