Fernandinho's two-footed challenge on Burnley's Johann Gudmundsson.[/caption]
Well, not in the slightest, going by the very, very awkward interview Guardiola gave to the BBC after the match.
Maybe it was Fernandinho getting sent of for the third time in six matches, maybe someone had just told him the massive spoiler for his favourite show, but whatever it was, Pep was really not in the mood for questions.
He started off leaving BBC Sport's Damian Johnson hanging on the first two questions by merely answering 'yes, that's true'. Then he refused to give his assessment of the red card, complaining that he was not a journalist.

Things got so bad the reporter had to resort to asking Pep if he was even happy his team as won.
At which point Pep put on the sort of forced smile to do when you meet your new partner's parents for the first time and protested his happiness.
Then dropped this: "I am so happy believe me, so happy. Happy New Year". Which sounded a lot more like a desperate attempt to find a way out the train-wreck interview then a sincere New Year's greeting.
Definitely a strong, if very early, contender for the most awkward moment of 2017.Top-flight footballers and F1 driver caught up in prostitution scandal
