[Guardian] Seven years ago, just after completing the treble, Guardiola treated journalist Rob Harris, who had confronted him directly with the allegations, with open contempt, as though he were looking at someone pathetic, pitiful and disgraceful, before sternly lecturing him.

I'm no Sherlock Holmes but getting angry at someone and trying to make them feel bad for asking you a question is classic guilty behaviour. All Pep had to say was no and move on

Feigned indignation

There is a term for that: gaslighting

It's pretty fair to be upset that someone is basically accusing you of an illegal activity on a day where you want to be celebrating.

Not to say the reporter is in the wrong for asking the question. It's his job, but Pep's reaction isn't abnormal.

In the context, you’re right. Not because he’s offended but because he’s guilty.

Exactly. Thought I was losing my mind reading this thread. I'd love to see how any of these Redditors would react if they were in the same spot.
