Pep Guardiola confiscated 60 bottles of champagne from Manchester City stars after Real Madrid win: Reports

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola kept his team's celebrations in check following their triumphant victory over Real Madrid. After securing their spot in the Champions League final, Guardiola intercepted a staggering 60 bottles of champagne.

The former Barcelona boss, renowned for his meticulous approach, ensured that his treble-chasing squad kept their eyes firmly fixed on the impending challenges. Reports from Daily Mail (via Daily Star) suggest that the champagne was inadvertently placed in the dressing room by hospitality staff. However, Guardiola wasted no time in ensuring its prompt removal.

He clearly intends to maintain a laser focus until the first title was secured among the three potential accolades that lay ahead – the Champions League and FA Cup finals.

With the benefit of hindsight, it seems that Manchester City's players could have indulged in midweek festivities, as they were subsequently crowned Premier League champions. Arsenal's defeat to Nottingham Forest in a 1-0 showdown propelled Guardiola and his team beyond their competitors, as they clinched their fifth Premier League title in six seasons.

The three-peat champions finally had the opportunity to pop the bottles on Saturday, a joyous occasion captured in footage that showcased Guardiola and his players reveling in triumph.
