Martin Brundle ‘thrown out’ of chat with Pep Guardiola who ‘shows his true colours’

On Nov 20, 2022

Martin Brundle was “thrown out” of his chat with Pep Guardiola after the Manchester City manager “showed his true colours”.

Sky Sports Formula One pundit Brundle was enjoying his famous grid walk ahead of the last race of the season in Abu Dhabi when he spotted Guardiola. He waded through the crowd to get a word from the City boss but was met with a cold response when he introduced himself.

Guardiola quickly said: “I just spoke already with Sky! I spoke twice with Sky,” to which Brundle replied: “Okay, three times lucky then.”

The Spaniard could be heard sarcastically saying: “Yeah, I’m lucky.” The pundit then went on to ask about City’s performances this season but was given the cold shoulder.

Guardiola said: “No, let’s not talk about football today, come on. Don’t talk about football today.”

He walked off immediately after as two guards pushed Brundle and his camera operator away. “Hang on a minute,” Brundle could be heard saying, before adding: “It’s okay, I’ve been thrown out of better places than this.”

One fan angrily responded to the exchange on social media, taking to Twitter to write: “Pep Guardiola just showed his true colours there, didn’t he? Martin Brundle is always exceptionally polite and friendly.

“Pep didn’t need to be rude, or turn his back on him. Really disappointed in the boss, there.”

Another tweeted: “Pep Guardiola came across as a right t*** then on Brundle’s grid walk. No need for it.”

Daniel Ricciardo, Usain Bolt and members of the England cricket team were among the famous people Brundle had successfully talked to prior the awkward encounter.
