Pep Guardiola has once again shot himself in the foot.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola once again caused concern among fans when he appeared with a scratch on his head after winning the Carabao Cup against Arsenal on March 22nd.

The Spanish strategist led Manchester United to a 2-0 victory over Arsenal in the final at Wembley, setting a record by winning the tournament for the fifth time.

However, the focus after the match was on Guardiola with red scratches on his head while celebrating the victory with his player Erling Haaland. This is not the first time he has been in this condition. Since the end of 2024, fans have repeatedly expressed concern when they saw him appearing with bruises and scratches on his face.

Guardiola caused controversy at the time when he said he "wanted to hurt himself" during an interview, before quickly apologizing.

Speaking after the match, Guardiola made no mention of the injury to his forehead. He was pleased with the championship and praised his players' performance.

The victory not only brought them their first title of the season but also gave Man City a huge boost in their ambition to win a domestic treble, alongside the Premier League and FA Cup. In the 2018/19 season, the Etihad Stadium team had already achieved this.

The Carabao Cup title gives Man City a boost in confidence in the Premier League race, where they will face Arsenal in a crucial match next month. Currently, Arsenal still lead by 9 points but have played one more game, making the race very unpredictable.

As for Arsenal, Mikel Arteta's team missed the chance to win four trophies but can still aim for a treble in the remaining competitions, including the Champions League.
