Liam Gallagher, the well-known frontman of Oasis, is famous for his outspoken and confrontational personality in the music industry.

However, during an interaction with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, a different side of the “Wonderwall” singer emerged, contrasting with his tough public image.

This year, Guardiola, along with his daughter Maria, attended Oasis’ homecoming performance at Heaton Park. This was the band’s first local concert since 2009. During the event, Guardiola enjoyed the music and had the opportunity to meet the Gallagher brothers, known supporters of Manchester City, along with their families.

Although Guardiola was familiar with Noel Gallagher, a regular attendee at Manchester City matches, it was his first encounter with Liam, and he recently shared his thoughts on the meeting.

“Meeting Liam for the first time was a great experience,” Guardiola revealed (according to The Mirror). “I’ve met Noel several times, but this was my first time meeting Liam, and he was really welcoming.”

Reflecting on the concert, Guardiola spoke highly of the performance, calling Oasis “the best rock band of the last 50 years,” and he also drew parallels between the band’s success and that of his Manchester City team.

“I don’t know how many countries they sold out but that means how good they have been,” he said. “When (people) say this team will be one of the best, I always say, ‘Ask me after 25 years’. Then if people still talk about that team, it was a good team.”

He added: “It’s like Oasis, no? They come back again and sold out all around the world, it is because they are good. Otherwise, it’s not sold out.”

Even the biggest rock legends have a softer side, it seems.
