Pep Guardiola sings and emotional Jack Grealish declares love for City at Oasis gig

Oasis made a thunderous return to Manchester’s Heaton Park, performing live in their hometown for the first time since 2009.

Over 70,000 fans packed the venue to see Liam and Noel Gallagher reunite – and among them were two familiar faces from the blue side of Manchester: Pep Guardiola and Jack Grealish.

But while both Manchester City men were clearly having a great time, they enjoyed the night in very different styles.

City manager Guardiola attended the show with his daughter Maria, and was seen passionately singing along to the iconic anthem “Don’t Look Back in Anger.”

The Gallagher brothers — both lifelong City fans — even gave Pep a special shoutout from the stage, describing him as “the greatest manager of all time.” That comment drew a few groans from the red side of Manchester, but cheers from the blues.

Pep was also pictured backstage with both Liam and Noel’s children: Lennon, Gene, Anais, Donovan, and Sonny. Gene Gallagher shared a snap of the meeting on Instagram, proudly calling it the “pic of the century.”

Meanwhile, Grealish had a more emotional evening.

Accompanied by his partner Sasha Attwood, the City midfielder appeared to thoroughly enjoy the festivities. Toward the end of the night, Grealish was spotted at the VIP barrier, where he was recognised by a group of City fans.

In a heartwarming moment, he was filmed “crying his heart out,” passionately declaring: “I love City more than anything! And do you know what I love more than anything? City fans! They’re the best fans in the world!”

While Grealish’s future at the club remains uncertain, his affection for the fans certainly doesn’t.

And in a way, Pep and Jack’s night mirrored the Gallagher brothers themselves: one measured and masterful, the other raw, loud, and wearing his heart on his sleeve. Different energies – same love for the music, and for Manchester City.
