FOOTBALL fans were left in stitches after seeing Pep Guardiola take cover from the Manchester weather.
The Manchester City boss battled the elements in Tuesday’s game against RB Leipzig.
A horrendous sleet shower interrupted the Champions League Round of 16 second leg.
But Guardiola, 52, continued to patrol his technical area despite the conditions.
The Spaniard took cover with a giant hood – leaving fans comparing him to Harry Potter and Star Wars characters.
One wrote on Twitter: “Pep with his hood up looking like Anakin.”

Another joked: “Pep’s hood is huuuuge it looks like he’s going into the woods to perform a spell.”
A third said: “He thinks he’s a character in Hogwarts.”
And a fourth quipped: “Bro’s a wizard.”
Guardiola then took his hood down when the sleet subsided.
