Pep Guardiola announced his divorce to the Man City squad, at a time when City was going through its worst period, having secured only 1 win out of 10 matches.
Pep Guardiola stood in the away team's locker room at Juventus's Allianz Stadium, where City had lost 2-0 in a Champions League game, and poured his heart out to his players.
"Guys, I want to confess something. I've divorced the most beautiful woman on this planet, my wife, my ex-wife.
I love her so much, immensely, but we lost that passion. Do I love her? Yes, of course. Does she love me? Yes. But we lost that passion."
"In your lives, whatever you do, do it with full passion. I don't want players who are just good. I want players who have passion."
"This is my defeat. If I'm the problem, you have to tell me. I won't stay here for the money or just to stick around. I don't want to feel like I have to run away from you.
"If I'm the problem, say it. It won't change the love I have for you one bit, not even for a second."
