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.

'When you think of Oasis, first you think of the massive tunes, but from hats to parkas second on the list is always going to be their incredible style. 'The hair is as much a part of that as anything, so while we can't make people rock 'n' roll stars – we can at least make them look like one and have a comfy bed waiting at the end of the gig.' Levon Gill, the barber added: 'It was so much fun giving these fans such an iconic look.

The Gallagher brothers shot to fame in the mid-1990s after two colossally successful Oasis albums, Definitely Maybe in 1994 and (What's the Story) Morning Glory? in 1995. With both Liam and Noel sharing vocal duties, the fractious pair were as famous for their off-stage antics as their music. Thanks to their working-class attitude, the duo were immediate style sensations, with shaggy hair and parkas defining the look of the era. The band went through spats and breakups, finally calling things off for good in 2009 after a blazing row between the two brothers following a Paris gig. In 2024, they announced a reunion tour that sold out in minutes, with fans from around the globe clamouring for tickets. Tracey added: 'Oasis aren't just a band - they're part of people's life stories.

'These songs have always had the power to unite strangers, whether at a gig, a festival or singing in the street after a night out. 'Bringing people together for something this iconic is electric, and we are so proud to be playing our part in it – it's more than a concert, it's a cultural moment that will never be forgotten.' 5 Oasis are due to play five gigs in total at Manchester's Heaton Park Credit: SWNS 5 A professional barber was on hand, fully trained in providing the feathered and shaggy look Credit: SWNS
