The Manchester City boss endeared himself to City fans even more than he already has after a video of him bellowing Don't Look Back In Anger alongside Maria circulated online.
Noel and Liam Gallagher are huge City fans themselves and, as well as regularly attending games at the Etihad, have even helped design a collaboration kit between the club and Oasis in recent seasons.
For the brothers, Guardiola will Live Forever in their memories after delivering City a Champions League trophy and six Premier League titles during his time at City so far.
But Guardiola appears to be just as big of an Oasis fan as the Gallaghers are of his.

The Spanish tactician, who sported a retro Man City shirt at the gig, was granted VIP access to the show and even posed for a picture alongside to Noel and Liam's family.
A backstage snap showed Noel's sons Noel's sons Donovan and Sonny next to Liam's daughter Anais, with Pep wedged between Liam's boys Gene and Lennon.
Guardiola was even honoured on stage as Noel performed alongside a cardboard cutout of the City gaffer in front of the 80,000-strong crowd.
Liam even dedicated his rendition of D'You Know What I Mean to Guardiola, telling fans to Listen Up as he said: "I'd like to dedicate this to the greatest manager of all time, Mr Pep Guardiola."

While the front-man also began to imitate praying towards the manager, bending down and lowering his back while his hands are raised.
His antics were met with boos from small pockets of the crowd - likely Man Utd fans - who were less than impressed.

But everyone was more than happy to just Roll With It as a chorus of laughter was let out when Noel joked: "Who you f***ing booing, who you f***ing booing?'
Guardiola will have been enjoying his final break before he has to Slide Away from the fun and get back into the swing of things when City return for pre-season.
City players are having an extended break before they reconvene for training after they took part in the new revamped Club World Cup in the US this summer.
Guardiola's side face Italian club Palermo in their only friendly on Saturday August 9.
They then kick off their bid to regain the Premier League title with a trip to Wolves on Saturday August 16th.

Here is why the timings are different and when each final is on. All smiles the day before...#Wimbledon | @janniksin | @carlosalcaraz The women's singles final is on Saturday, July 12, at 4pm. The men's singles final takes place a day later, on Sunday, July 13, also at 4pm. The men's doubles final, which features the all-British duo of Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool, is at 1pm on Saturday. The women's final is at 1pm on Sunday. As per The Independent, the schedule has been changed this year to attract more of a worldwide audience, with the singles finals now being at 11am in New York. All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton said: "We have adjusted the provisional schedule for the final weekend of The Championships with the ambition of improving the experience for all involved. "The move has also been designed with players in mind. "The doubles players competing in the finals will have increased certainty over their schedule and fans will enjoy each day's play as it builds towards the crescendo of the ladies' and gentlemen's singles finals, with our champions being crowned in front of the largest possible worldwide audience.' In the Wimbledon women's singles final, it will be Amanda Anisimova vs. Iga Świątek.

Eighth seed Świątek beat unseeded Belinda Bencic. Neither has won Wimbledon before, with Anisimova having never won a tennis Grand Slam tournament. Świątek is a four-time winner of the French Open and also won the US Open in 2022. For the men, it will once again see Jannik Sinner vs. Carlos Alcaraz. Sinner beat out tennis legend and this year's sixth seed, Novak Djokovic, in his semi-final, with Alcaraz seeing off fifth-seeded American Taylor Fritz. A post shared by Wimbledon (@wimbledon) It will be a rematch of the duo's final in the French Open in June, where Alcaraz won a five-set thriller to win his second French Open title and fifth major title overall. At 5 hours and 29 minutes, it was the longest French Open final in history and the second-longest major final overall after the 2012 Australian Open final. This year's Wimbledon final between the Spaniard and the Italian will be the first French Open rematch since Federer and Nadal in 2008.

Wimbledon's remarkable run of first-time champions continues
Here, the PA news agency looks back at the previous seven champions. Spaniard Muguruza avenged her 2015 final defeat by Serena Williams and won her second grand slam title with a straight-sets win over 37-year-old five-time champion Venus Williams. Muguruza, 23, saved two set points in the first set and won the last nine games in a 7-5 6-0 victory under the Centre Court roof. German 11th seed Kerber spoiled Serena Williams' comeback as a new mother with a 6-3 6-3 success. Williams had been the favourite despite competing in only her fourth tournament since giving birth to her daughter Olympia the previous September but Kerber, 30, added Wimbledon to her 2016 Australian Open and US Open crowns. Williams reached the final again, her 11th appearance, but this time ran into 2018 French Open champion Halep. The Romanian, 27, won 6-2 6-2 in only 56 minutes in front of a stunned Centre Court crowd and afterwards admitted it was her 'best match'. With no Championships held in 2020 due to Covid, Australia's Barty took the next title by edging out Karolina Pliskova 6–3 6–7 (4) 6–3. Barty never played at Wimbledon again, announcing her retirement from the sport the following March, as world number one, aged 25. Wimbledon had banned Russians from the Championships due to the Ukraine invasion but Moscow-born 17th seed Rybakina claimed the title under the flag of Kazakhstan. The 23-year-old hit back from dropping the first set to beat third seed Ons Jabeur 3-6 6-2 6-2, becoming the youngest winner since Petra Kvitova in 2011. Jabeur reached the final again but the popular Tunisian was left heartbroken after 24-year-old Vondrousova became the first unseeded player to win the women's title. The Czech won 6-4 6-4 to leave sixth seed Jabeur, 28, in tears after her third defeat in a grand slam final. Another surprise Czech champion, 31st seed Krejcikova won a gripping final against Italian Jasmine Paolini 6–2 2–6 6–4. An emotional victory meant Krejcikova, 28, emulated her late friend and coach Jana Novotna, who won the title in 1998.
