Pep Guardiola's explosive confrontation with Kyle Walker left the Manchester City boss struggling to hold back tears, as shown in a newly released documentary. The two engaged in a heated altercation in the Anfield dressing room that ultimately contributed to Walker's departure from the club.
Following a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in December 2024, Walker turned on his manager, furious at being made a scapegoat. The clash occurred just days after Guardiola had penned a contract extension.
"You keep saying my name, every meeting," new footage shows Walker venting angrily, via The Mirror. "Every f***ing meeting it's my name."

When Guardiola responded that Walker's name frequently arose due to his captaincy role, the England international fired back, claiming: "You didn't want me to be a captain." The right-back pressed on: "I've reacted to someone else, I've lost the ball, you somehow bring my name into it."
