If you're on TV and you happen to betray a very strong emotion, you had better be prepared to become a meme.
That was exactly what happened to Manchester City Football Club manager Pep Guardiola on Sunday night, although, in fairness, it was probably the last thing on his mind.

Ouch. Man City did indeed lose by two goals, and are now fourth in the league — with both Leicester and Chelsea sitting between them and the current leaders.
On the plus side, at least Guardiola can now say he's entered the reaction meme hall of fame.
