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?'
