And he likened Liam and brother Noel's enduring success to that of a good football team or a good book.
Spaniard Pep, who attended with his daughter Maria, said: 'It was really good.
'The first time I've been in this country so it was nice.
'Being here in Manchester, the first time.
'They came here after many, many years.
'They have been the best rock band in the last 50 years.
'And I'm happy it's back.
'It's the first time I knew Liam.
'Noel I've been with many times (at City games) but Liam I never met before and I met him before the concert and he was so kind.'
Pep was pictured in a classic City shirt at the gig alongside Liam's sons, Lennon, 25, and Gene, 24, and Noel's three children, Anais, 25, Donovan, 17, and Sonny, 14.
Bitter Oasis feud 'buried once and for all' as Noel Gallagher heaps praise on younger brother Liam for 'smashing it' on reunion tour
He said Oasis had sealed their superstar status by bouncing back from the brothers' 15-year rift to sell out their tour.
Pep said: 'I don't know how many countries they sold out but that means how good they have been.
'When (people) say this team will be one of the best, I always say, 'Ask me after 25 years'.
'Then if people still talk about that team, it was a good team.
'It's like a book, if after 25 years people read the same book, that is a good book.
'It's like Oasis, no? They come back again and sold out all around the world, it is because they are good. Otherwise, it's not sold out.'
During the gig Liam urged fans to show respect for the title-winning boss when he dedicated D'You Know What I Mean? to 'the greatest manager of all time, the one and only Pep Guardiola'.
It led to boos from non-City fans, with Liam blasting back: 'Who you f****** booing?'

Robbie Williams says he would open for Oasis despite decades-long rivalry
Robbie Williams has said he would open for Oasis despite a longstanding feud between the musicians. The rivalry allegedly began more than two decades ago, which saw the 90s Britpop stars, Liam and Noel Gallagher from Oasis and Williams, exchange insults at each other, including a challenge made by the Rock DJ singer at the 2000 Brit Awards Ceremony to fight Liam Gallagher. The feud, however, appears to have subsided with Williams saying that despite not being friends, they are not "enemies". Speaking to ITV News, Williams said: "I would open for Oasis. In this moment that they're having right now, they are omnipresent and they are the peak Zeitgeist. "I can't compete with that. So I would, I would open for Oasis. "We're not exactly friends, but I don't think we're enemies." Williams plays Dublin's Croke Park on Saturday. Oasis Live '25 world tour, following shows at Croke Park last weekend. Prior to launching his solo career, Williams was part of the boyband Take That, which was behind the hit songs Pray, Everything Changes, and Back for Good. He left the group in 1995 and released his chart-topping debut album Life Thru a Lens in 1997. Other albums by the singer include I've Been Expecting You (1998), Sing When You're Winning (2000), Escapology (2002), Intensive Care (2005), and Rudebox (2006). The singer set off for his Britpop tour in May in support of his upcoming album of the same name, which is due to be released on 10 October.

US Open star, 30, reveals she charges men $1000 to DATE her just months after starting ‘spicy' OnlyFans
TENNIS star Sachia Vickery has revealed that she charges men $1,000 to go on a date with her. Vickery, 30, is attempting to qualify for the US Open. 7 Sachia Vickery launched an OnlyFans account earlier this year Credit: Instagram / @sachiavick 7 Vickery, 30, has been raking it in on the content platform Credit: Instagram / @sachiavick 7 The American peaked at No73 in the world in 2018 Credit: Getty Off the court she is raking it in, having launched an OnlyFans account earlier this year. Vickery has now revealed that she requires a payment to date, having grown tired of men wasting her time. The American wrote on Instagram this week: "I no longer date for free due to the behavior of men I now require a pre-date deposit send me 1,000 and we can make it happen my cashapp is $Sachiavick." Prior to US Open qualifying this week, Vickery had not played since February due to injury. In that time, her OnlyFans account, which she describes as containing "the content too spicy for Instagram", has gone from strength to strength. On her endeavour, Vickery added on Instagram: 'I'm very open-minded and I don't care what people think of me … it's also the easiest money I've ever made and I enjoy doing it. "I will never talk s*** about girls on OnlyFans ever again for the rest of my life. "Because the amount I made on there in my first two days, I am overwhelmed. I am just shook really." 7 Vickery has admitted that she charges men to go on dates with her Credit: Instagram / @sachiavick 7 The tennis ace has opened up on her lucrative side hustle Credit: Instagram / @sachiavick 7 Vickery has gone form strength to strength on OnlyFans Credit: Instagram / @sachiavick Vickery is not the only tennis player on OnlyFans. Nick Kyrgios partnered up with the content site in 2023, while self proclaimed "sexiest professional tennis player" Alexandre Muller has an account and has even worn the OnlyFans logo on his kit. Brit tennis star lets off blood curdling screech at US Open Arina Rodionova launched an account in January after splitting with her husband. Speaking on Black Spin Global, Vickery said: "I've always pushed boundaries. I've always been outspoken about racial hate I get online, bodyshaming. I'm very open about a lot of stuff. "I'm still playing tennis, my career is still going but I also want to do things outside of tennis. I'm starting to explore more opportunities on social media. "Obviously there are levels to OnlyFans, you have athletes like Nick [Kyrgios] and Alex [Muller] who are going to be posting tennis content for the most part and then you have the other complete extreme, which I'm not. I'm in that middle gap. 'NEGATIVE FEEDBACK' "I set it up in January and it just took off. Being a tennis player definitely helped my marketing. I'm at a stage where I don't do the absolute most on there but I'm comfortable as I need to be. I'm doing really well. "Obviously, I'm going to get some negative feedback but that's just normal. Whatever you do in life there's always going to be some criticism. If I was doing nothing I'd be getting criticism, so I might as well get on the platform and make money while I'm at it." Vickery, who peaked at world No73 in 2018, is now down at No559 due to her injury lay-off. The Florida-born star entered US Open qualifying using a protected ranking and returned to action following six months out by beating Anastasiya Soboleva on Tuesday. Vickery will be back in action later today as she faces No19 seed in qualifying Ella Seidel in round two. Should she beat Seidel, Vickery will take on either Zhang Shuai or Darja Vidmanova for a place in the US Open main draw.

Ciarán Murphy: Scrolling my brain into obsolescence in pursuit of GAA nirvana
I decided last week that it would be a good idea to follow Clubber , one of the online streaming services that allows us to watch so much club GAA weekend after weekend, on Instagram . I spend hours on the infernal app any way, and get fed seemingly endless GAA-related videos while I'm there, so I thought I may as well put my relationship with this stuff on an official footing. I did not reckon, however, with the sheer avalanche of scores, stripped of all context and meaning, that came my way. Clonguish have scored a goal! Rhode have scored five goals in a half! Aaron Masterson has hit a two-pointer from 60 yards out for Moorefield! I didn't necessarily know what any of that meant, but I found myself scrolling along regardless. Do Clonguish need a win in their group? Are they in a group? Clonguish is in Longford, right? READ MORE I found all of a sudden that the Clubber Instagram account was a thrilling metaphor for my use of the internet more generally. It is a 30-second dopamine hit, which you ingest, blank-eyed, before the algorithm throws up its next offering. No real information is offered, beyond the minimum. It doesn't matter. The only important thing is that you keep watching. This is the internet now. Faced with the prospect of having all of humanity's accumulated wisdom at my fingertips at every waking moment of every day, I choose instead to rewatch a TJ Reid assist for a Ballyhale goal 20 times in a row. If you haven't seen it, by the way, it was genuinely beautiful. Reid moves out from the full forward position to collect a long delivery, stuns the ball on his hurley and then plays a pass to Brian Cody without taking the ball into his hand at all. Cody gave the move the finish it deserved, but it was an absolutely mesmeric piece of skill from Reid, and without Clubber and its ilk, we just wouldn't have ever seen it. So there's no doubt that having cameras at all these games is a gift. But last Monday, it had become overwhelming. I found myself thinking that what I need is for someone to explain all this to me, as slowly as they could manage it. Never mind the endless stream of scores; give me some of the backstory. How many times can Tipperary's prolific John McGrath find the back of the net before christmas. Photograph: Inpho Would Celbridge be expected to beat Johnstownbridge? How many more goals can John McGrath be expected to score between here and Christmas? Is it wrong that I don't know how the Longford senior football championship is set up? Surely an hour-long television show, dedicated solely to explaining county boards and how they run off their senior championships, has broad crossover appeal? Right? And as I asked myself that final question, I realised that I had become just another old white dude radicalised online. The people watching Clonguish are those who don't need to have the Longford senior football championship explained. They've probably been watching it their whole lives. Stream Sport got my money this week to watch my home club Milltown draw with Corofin in a thrilling group game in the Galway senior football championship. I didn't need to be told what that meant. The club GAA season is more than just a 30-second clip of a ridiculous point kicked by a player you barely recognise, but that's how many of us now consume it. The economics of the GAA club coverage ecosystem might seem precarious, but the success of Stream Sport, who have deals with the county boards of Mayo, Galway, Donegal, Limerick and others, or Clubber, suggests otherwise. Two separate Mayo football podcasts tweeted about experiencing unprecedented listenership and uptake on the back of their coverage of the county's club championships last week. Maybe the key defining characteristic of the internet as it has been structured over the last 25 years is the realisation that no matter how weird or perverted your taste is in anything, there is someone out there thinking the exact same thing (which has not been a net benefit to humanity, to put it mildly.) This is what club games being streamed on the internet screams to me. I know I'm a Grade 7 GAA nutjob. I don't need to be told it was weird how invested I got in Fourmilewater's thrilling late comeback against Abbeyside in the Waterford senior hurling championship last Saturday. But I also know that there are more severe cases than me out there – I'm related to at least one Grade 9, and that number might be conservative. Maybe, instead of belittling the idea of an hour of television, even if it's internet television, dedicated to the group stages of the Offaly senior football championship and other like-minded sporting competitions, I should lean in. Sure, I'm a weirdo, but I know I'm hardly lacking for company. Show me some goals, and then tell me what it all means. Tell me what the hell Graigue Ballycallan need to do from here to get into the Kilkenny senior hurling final. Get Neil deGrasse Tyson on a Zoom call to explain the more complicated competition structures. Maybe I've opened up a whole new vista of broadcasting opportunity for these companies, or maybe it sounds like a lot of work when they know I'll be staring at my phone regardless, scrolling my brain into obsolescence.
