Pep Guardiola's name was playfully booed as he took his seat at Wimbledon on Saturday.
Guardiola was one of a host of sporting stars watching Centre Court from the Royal Box as he enjoyed his penultimate weekend of the summer before Manchester City return for pre-season next week.
And according to BBC Sport, when Guardiola took his seat and City's four consecutive Premier League titles with Manchester City were announced, there were a 'few boos' from the crowd on Centre Court ahead of the clash between Brit Cameron Norrie and German Alexander Zverev. There were also plenty of cheers in a good-natured atmosphere.

Guardiola attended the All England Club alongside wife Cristina, and was present alongside former England manager Roy Hodgson - the pair holding a strong relationship from their battles in the Premier League over recent seasons. England women's captain Leah Williamson was also in the Royal Box, alongside England cricket trio Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler - plus India legend Sachin Tendulkar.
A range of Olympic legends including Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill, Sir Chris Hoy, Sir Jason Kenney, Dame Laura Kenny, Sir Ben Ainslie, Adam Peaty, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean were in the royal box, along with Paralympic athletes Hannah Cockroft and Kadeena Cox. Rugby Union's Lawrence Dallaglio and Sir Gareth Edwards took their seats in a star-studded, sporting-themed group.
Guardiola has often spoken of his love for tennis, describing the final three points needed to win a title similar to the Championship point at Wimbledon being the toughest point to win. He has often described City's battles with Liverpool as like the three-way battle between Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, with each rival pushing the other to be better.
He spoke this year of Federer and Nadal being his inspirations, saying: "There is one detail that defines them, it is how hard they work. People believing when you are on top of any sport, it is [due to] talents and skills. But what would define [them] is they work harder than the other ones, they prepare better than the other ones. They are the best.
"They are never satisfied and how they accept the bad moments or the defeats like it’s normal in life, in a sport and how to win the games and how they accept they are nervous or they are playing bad, how they come back immediately."
