Manchester City attacking midfielder Kevin De Bruyne was quite displeased after his manager, Pep Guardiola yelled at him to pass the ball during Manchester City's 4-0 demolition of Real Madrid in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League tie at the Etihad Stadium.
A video that has surfaced on social media captured the moment Pep screamed at the Belgian international to release the ball shortly after he lost possession to Eder Militao.
In retaliation, De Bruyne waved off the Spanish tactician to shut up as he returned quietly to his dugout.
The Premier League champions displayed a remarkable performance to edge the UCL title holders 5-1 on aggregate, courtesy of goals from Bernardo Silva, Manuel Akanji, and Julian Alvarez.
Manchester City will take on Inter Milan in the grand finale in Istanbul on June 10 as the Cityzens aim for their first UCL title.
Pep Guardiola last won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2011.
