WATCH: 'You have to pay for a picture!' - Man City boss Pep Guardiola refuses traffic warden request after being hit with parking ticket

The Manchester City manager found himself on the wrong side of the law after leaving his vehicle on double yellow lines. He must now pay a fine, although that should not be too much trouble for a man working on a reported £379,000-a-week contract at the Etihad Stadium.

Guardiola was able to laugh off his indiscretion after being confronted by a traffic warden when returning to his illegally-parked car. After being asked for a selfie, the Catalan coach said: “You want a picture? You have to pay for the picture!”

Guardiola, who has spent seven years at City and is tied to a deal through to 2025, guided the Blues to a historic Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup Treble triumph last season – with the UEFA Super Cup added to his collection of honours in the current campaign.

City have taken maximum points from their opening two games in 2023-24 – seeing off Burnley and Newcastle – and will be back in action on Sunday when taking in a trip to newly-promoted Sheffield United.
