Pep Guardiola 'loved' Kevin De Bruyne shouting back at him during a heated moment in the Champions League semi-final with Real Madrid.
The Manchester City manager was fuming early in the second half as his midfield started to give a few early balls away, and after De Bruyne was culpable he was given shouts from the touchline that let him know in no uncertain terms what he had done. However, the Belgian gave as good as he got as he shouted back at Guardiola before turning away and carrying on with the game.
De Bruyne stayed on the pitch and sent in the free-kick that Manu Akanji turned home for the third goal on the night that made City's victory secure. Rather than be offended by the gesture, Guardiola explained how De Bruyne's outburst convinced him that the player was in top form.
