What a week for Pep Guardiola. It started with a victory in the Champions League final, and it ended with a public congratulation from one of his idols! First it was time for former Barcelona coach to finally win the Champions League outside of Spain, where he did it twice with the Catalans, but haven’t repeated this success until now. He coached Bayern Munich, but also failed and finally, when he did it, he did it in style. By winning the treble with Manchester City this season (Champions and Premier League and the FA Cup), the Spaniard became the first coach in history to do it twice (the other team was Barcelona). And soon, his life was even sweeter, as Julia Roberts congratulated him on his success.Pep Guardiola FINALLY gets recognition from his favorite actress Julia Roberts. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/EjAQSLxcoH— CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ (@CBSSportsGolazo) June 11, 2023 One of the most iconic Hollywood actresses used her Instagram account to send her regards, obviously aware that she is Pep’s idol. “Congratulations @pepteam for leading your team to be UCL champions” she wrote to him, and her 11 million followers all over the world. Pep reveals Sir Alex texted him before the Champions League triumphA few months ago, in a somewhat strange press conference ahead of the RB Leipzig game in the Champions League, the Spaniard talked about the match and of his everlasting quest for the trophy outside of Barcelona and all of a sudden, named Julia Roberts and her visit to Manchester United stadium.“I am a failure in the Champions League. If I win the Champions League three times in a row I will be a failure. I have three idols in my life. Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Julia Roberts. These are my three idols. Julia Roberts years ago came to Manchester – not in the 90s when Sir Alex Ferguson was winning titles and titles and titles. She came in the period where we were better than United, in these four or five years, right? And she went to visit Man United. She didn’t come to see us. That’s why even if I win the Champions League it will not compare for the fact that Julia Roberts came to Manchester and didn’t come to see us. Even if I win the Champions League it will not compare to this disappointment I had” he said after a 7-0 win over Leipzig in the Champions League.
