Pep Guardiola is revealed to have told his Manchester City players they had to 'eat their f***ing s**t' in a perversely sympathetic rant following their Champions League elimination to Tottenham last season, in a bid to inspire them to complete their domestic treble.
City crashed out at the quarter-final stage following one of the most memorable ties in the competition's history, as a 4-3 victory at the Etihad saw them exit the competition on away goals after Raheem Sterling had a winner deep into stoppage time chopped off by VAR.
It was a heartbreaking result for City, who had looked on for an unprecedented quadruple but had to settle for just the three major trophies instead, as they went on to reclaim their Premier League title in addition to winning both domestic cups.
