It seems Pep Guardiola still hasn't forgotten about the damning comments made by Oleksandr Zinchenko's wife following their shock Champions League exit to Lyon last season.
TV presenter Vlada Sedan revealed how Guardiola shut down a joke Oleksandr made about his recent 50th birthday with a reference to her scathing comments.
It was after City's 3-1 loss to Lyon in the quarter-finals last season that Sedan blamed Guardiola and his tactical tinkering for their surprise exit.
Guardiola's decision to play three central defenders meant left-back Zinchenko spent the whole 90 minutes on the bench as City crashed out.
