It seems that Pep Guardiola has been at Manchester City for so long that the English sarcasm is rubbing off on him.
Guardiola is not shy when it comes to using tongue-in-cheek comments in interviews, highlighted before City's win at Chelsea when he joked he was 'following the fans' when it came to picking his starting line-up. And after the game, when he made two game-changing double substitutions, he was at it again, entertaining reporters when he declared himself a 'genius' for changing his system at half time.
However, that sarcasm doesn't appear to have made it all the way back to his native Spain, where Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti appeared to be asked a serious question about whether he considers himself a genius in the context of Guardiola's comments.
