Wayne Rooney had viewers in stitches during the BBC's FA Cup final coverage this evening when he shared a brilliant anecdote about Pep Guardiola.The Manchester United legend revealed how a voicemail from the City boss left him absolutely "fuming" back when he was managing Derby County.It turns out the exchange happened when Rooney was trying to do some transfer business with Guardiola's side.The former England captain was working as a pundit for the broadcaster as City claimed a 1-0 victory over Chelsea at Wembley, and couldn't resist sharing the tale with his fellow pundits.Rooney explained that he had Patrick Roberts on loan from City at the time and was keen to bring Liam Delap to Pride Park as well during the 2021 season."So I called him and it went to voicemail. I didn't get through, then he called back and I missed it," Rooney told the BBC panel.What came next was pure Guardiola mischief."He left a voicemail saying, 'Hi Wayne, this is Pep, the one who beat you in the Champions League final.' So I was fuming!" Rooney recalled.The cheeky dig clearly caught the former striker completely off guard.Guardiola's playful jab referenced some painful memories for Rooney and United supporters alike.The Catalan's Barcelona side defeated Sir Alex Ferguson's men twice in Champions League finals during that era.The first came in Rome back in 2009, where Barca secured a 2-0 triumph.Two years later, the sides met again at Wembley in 2011, with Barcelona running out 3-1 winners thanks to goals from Pedro, Lionel Messi and David Villa.Rooney did manage to find the net for United that night, scoring his side's only goal, but Guardiola's treble-winning squad proved far too strong on the day."Hi Wayne, this is Pep, the one who beat you in the Champions League final".Ruthless from Pep. pic.twitter.com/JB0VvrkBXd BBC Sport (@BBCSport) May 16, 2026 Despite the amusing exchange, Rooney never managed to get Delap's signature on a loan deal, and he stepped down as Derby boss at the end of the 2021/22 campaign.The young striker has since carved out quite a career for himself, completing a 30million transfer to Chelsea from Ipswich Town last summer.In a neat twist of fate, Delap actually came off the bench in today's final against his former club, though he couldn't prevent City from claiming victory.Antoine Semenyo's stunning backheel midway through the second half proved the difference as Guardiola's side secured their third FA Cup under his stewardship.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter

Chelsea have officially confirmed the appointment of Xabi Alonso as their new manager on a four-year deal, signaling a major shift in the club's hierarchical structure. The former Real Madrid boss reportedly arrives at Stamford Bridge with a massive mandate from the board: restore the Blues to the pinnacle of English football within a specific timeframe. Chelsea set ambitious title deadline Alonso has been handed a clear objective by the Chelsea ownership following his high-profile arrival in west London. According to the Daily Mail, the club hierarchy expects the former Bayer Leverkusen boss to deliver a Premier League title within the next three seasons, a target that reflects both the level of investment at Stamford Bridge and the pedigree of the new man in charge. The four-year contract signed by Alonso provides him with a degree of security, but the internal pressure to succeed is immediate. After a period of transition and fluctuating form, the Blues' leadership believes the Spaniard is the missing piece to challenge the modern-day dominance of Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool. Channeling the 'mentality monsters' spirit In a bid to overhaul the culture at Cobham, Alonso is reportedly looking toward an old rival for inspiration. The new Chelsea boss wants to instill the 'mentality monsters' ethos famously popularized by Jrgen Klopp during his legendary tenure at Liverpool. Alonso believes that technical quality alone is insufficient and that the current squad needs a psychological transformation to compete for the biggest honors. This approach involves a rigorous upgrade in standards and a demand for total commitment from every player. By adopting this gritty, never-say-die attitude, Alonso hopes to bridge the gap between Chelsea and the current pace-setters, ensuring his side can sustain a title charge over a grueling 38-game season. A shift in power at Stamford Bridge Significantly, former Liverpool and Real Madrid midfielder Alonso has been appointed with the title of 'manager' rather than 'head coach,' making him the first Chelsea boss in 13 years to hold this distinction. This change in job title suggests a departure from the collaborative model seen under previous regimes and indicates that Alonso will have a final say on crucial footballing matters, including recruitment and long-term planning. The move is seen as a way to avoid the power struggles that have plagued the club in recent years. A whirlwind summer transfer window looms With the Premier League title deadline set, Chelsea are preparing for a massive summer in the transfer market to give Alonso the tools he needs. Plans are already in place for a whirlwind window, with the club reportedly identifying several key targets to bolster the midfield and defensive lines, areas identified as needing urgent reinforcement to match the manager's high-intensity style.
