The Manchester City boss was spotted at Oasis' Heaton Park reunion gigs this earlier this summer
Pep Guardiola has revealed what it was like meeting Liam Gallagher for the first time and praised Oasis as the 'best rock band of the last 50 years'.
The Manchester City boss was pictured backstage at the first Oasis reunion gig at Heaton Park last month. Decked out in a retro City shirt he was filmed singing along Don't Look Back in Anger and posed for a pic with the Gallagher children.
Life-long City fan Liam dedicated D’You Know What I Mean to Guardiola as he referred to the Spaniard as 'the boss' and called him the 'greatest manager of all time'. And now Guardiola has repaid the compliment calling Oasis 'the best rock band of the last 50 years'.
Speaking about the gig in an interview with Sky Sports Guardiola said: "It was really good. The first time I've been in this country so it was nice. Being here in Manchester, the first time.

"They came here after many, many years. They have been the best rock band in the last 50 years. And I'm happy it's back.
"It's the first time I knew Liam. Noel I've been with many times (at City games) but Liam I never met before and I met him before the concert and he was so kind."
And while Guardiola was delighted to meet Liam, his highlight was the concert itself, having praised Oasis as one of the best music groups of all time. He added: "I don't know how many countries they sold out but that means how good they have been.

"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. It's like a book, if after 25 years people read the same book, that is a good book.
"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."
