Pep Guardiola believes an Oasis concert at the Etihad will take place next summer if Manchester City win the Premier League title this season. City kicked off their new Premier League campaign with a 4-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux last weekend.

Erling Haaland scored twice, while new signing Tijjani Reijnders also impressed as City showed why they are second favourites with the bookmakers to be crowned champions. Guardiola’s side lost out on the title to Liverpool last season, who are being tipped by many to retain their crown this season.

But Guardiola, speaking ahead of his side’s home game against Tottenham Hotspur, claimed a league title win for his side this season will result in an Oasis concert at the Etihad next summer.

“It will happen, I am pretty sure, I will talk with Noel,” Guardiola replied when asked by Joe Hart about the prospect of the Etihad hosting a title winning Oasis concert.

The Oasis Live '25 tour was announced last August, two days before the 30th anniversary of their debut album, Definitely Maybe

After shows across the UK, the band are now in America, and Guardiola was among the thousands in attendance for the first night at Heaton Park last month.

And in a separate interview with Sky Sports, the City boss, who has also managed Barcelona and Bayern Munich, hailed Oasis as the 'best band of last 50 years'.

He 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."

Before 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."
