PIC: Pep Guardiola was at the League Cup final… in life-sized cardboard form anyway

Poor Manuel Pellegrini. He doesn't deserve this.

Although he may be heading for the Etihad exit door, the Chilean could end the season by guiding Manchester City to three trophies. Having sealed the League Cup after edging out Liverpool in a penalty shoot-out on Sunday, Pellegrini will now hope to deliver Premier League and Chanmpions League glory to City. And as if this wasn't good enough for City's once-success-starved supporters, he's managed to put the club in such a healthy position while handling the Pep Guardiola rumours like an absolute gent. While the majority of the club's supporters will be grateful for what Pellegrini has done for the club, one fan just can't help getting excited about the club's incoming manager. Ahead of the League Cup final, this bloke was pictured heading to Wembley with a life-size cardboard cut-out of Pep Guardiola. https://twitter.com/talkingbaws/status/703919606872809472
