Guardiola delivered a half-time dressing down to his squad during a January 2023 match against Tottenham with City trailing 2-0.
In hindsight, the infamous 'Happy Flowers' rant was a decisive moment in the Blues' Treble-winning season as they scored four without reply in the second period.
Guardiola had been unhappy with the attitude of his City squad prior to the Spurs clash. He had scolded them after the appalling defeat at Southampton a few weeks earlier, questioning their attitude and hunger to fight to retain their title.
And when City collapsed in the first half against Spurs at the Etihad, Guardiola was furious with his players in the dressing room - as new footage shows from the behind-thescenes Together documentary which charts the Treble-success.
City came back to win 4-2 and Guardiola opted to air his concerns publicly after the game questioning the complacency of the entire club from dressing room to the stands.
The documentary shows Guardiola's furious half-time team-talk, which echoes his complaints later made in his press conference. After Erling Haaland stormed into the dressing room, kicking a bottle away and throwing down his shirt, Guardiola said: "There's something inside that you find, all of you guys.
