Pep Guardiola struggles for first time this season… as Manchester City boss battles to press buzzer at training ground

PEP GUARDIOLA has hurdled every obstacle in his path with Manchester City this season.

Well, except from the buzzer at the entrance of the training ground, which proved a tough task for the 47-year-old boss.

A 1-0 victory against Chelsea on Sunday moved the high-flying Citizens to within touching distance of the title.

And Guardiola's squad promptly returned to training on Monday morning in preparation for the mid-week clash against FC Basel.

But this is where problems began for the boss, who parked too far away from the buzzer at the entrance of the Etihad Campus.

He attempted to lean out of his window to press it, but failed miserably.

Guardiola was then forced to undo the door of his Mercedes, before hanging out and finally hitting the buzzer to open the gates.

After a somewhat traumatic start to the day, the 47-year-old joined the rest of his squad for a training session.
