Oasis fans boo Liam Gallagher as he dedicates song to the 'greatest of all time'
Although, somewhat predictably, it was due to football rather than anything to do with the performance.
Reunited brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher walked out to a hero's welcome, hand in hand, at the huge park on Friday night.
But mid-way through the show, Liam brought things to a halt to make a special dedication.
He said: "I'd like to dedicate this to the greatest manager of all time, Mr Pep Guardiola." But the mention of the Manchester City boss sparked some boos in the crowd.
Clearly unimpressed, Liam retorted: "Who you f***ing booing, who you f***ing booing?"
A video also panned to a life-sized cut-out of Pep that was placed on stage, with a Man City scarf around his neck.
Thankfully it was greeted by laughs from the audience and Liam launched into an emphatic version of D'You Know What I Mean.
In fact, Pep himself was spotted backstage at the show ahead of the band's headline performance. He was pictured posing with members of the Gallagher family, including Noel's daughter and Liam's sons.
Earlier in the show, Noel had made a dedication to Manc royalty - The Royle Family's creators, comedians Caroline Aherne and Craig Cash. He said: "This one's for Caroline and Craig" before performing an acoustic singalong of the TV show's theme tune Half the World Away.
Ahead of the band performing, Cast brought out a surprise guest for their opening support slot, whilst Richard Ashcroft paid tribute to a Manchester music legend on stage.
Oasis will perform two sold-out shows in Croke Park in Dublin next month.
Tickets for the Oasis reunion sold out across all venues due to huge demand when they went online earlier in the year. However, there are still several options available for fans trying to snag a last-minute spot.
Limited last-minute tickets can be bought from the official Ticketmaster resale site, where fans who can no longer go sell their seats, although these tend to go into and out of stock quickly.
Elsewhere, resale sites like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub and Twickets are selling tickets for various dates, although fans should always bear in mind that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, discourage the purchase of resale tickets.
Meanwhile, Seat Unique has some VIP tickets available offering a host of additional perks alongside access to the gig.

Wolfe Tones singer Brian Warfield wants to give Oasis a bottle of their whiskey – but poured ice on rumours he'll be a special guest at the band's Irish gigs next month. Liam and Noel Gallagher play Dublin's Croke Park on August 16 and 17. There had been whispers the Manchester rockers, who have strong Irish heritage, had invited The Wolfe Tones to join them on stage. But Brian, 79, told us: 'I heard nothing about it.

Brian recalled how Gallaghers were spotted in the crowds of a Wolfe Tone concert back when they were much younger. He said: 'I saw them when they were at our concerts. They were only kids back then.

Oasis will be supported by ex-Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft and Cast in Croke Park. He is a long-time friend of the brothers, while Cast opened for Liam on his Definitely Maybe 30th-anniversary tour. Oasis last played in Ireland in 2009 when they headlined Slane Castle.
