Noel Gallagher has cried more for Manchester City's first Champions League than for the breakup of Oasis 14 years ago. @oasismania videos show the great Gallagher Saturday night in a San Diego pub, surrounded by bluesy fans. Final whistle, hugs and tears. Sing like there's no tomorrow Don't look back in anger. Don't look back in anger…
The Gallaghers' admiration for Pep Guardiola is well known and, while Sir Elton John went to meet the Blues at the airport when they won the FA Cup, Noel pledged on the BBC to become the manager's servant de Santpedor if he returned to Manchester with the coveted cup. Change the decoration of the house, go on stage in shorts... But the wild Liam Gallagher had triggered the Twitter speculations since the semi-final against Real Madrid: "If Man City wins the Champions League I call my brother and bring the cursed band is back”. Football is football and the Gallaghers can't stand it. And yet... Is Oasis back?
Manchester City's BSO comes off the album (What's the story) Morning glory? of Oasis, as the one of FC Barcelona came out of Coldplay's Viva la vida. Guardiola celebrated the 2021 league with Don't look back in anger and a powerful hava. On Saturday, as the players entered the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul, the streets of Manchester chanted Wonderwall.
"Today is gonna be the day..." And yes. It was the day. Noel Gallagher recovered Champagne Supernova: "Today the rain in Manchester tastes like champagne". Dressing room party connected to the streets...Wonderwall again.
Guardiola won his first Champions League as a coach with Barça in the same year that Oasis split. So, with City's first, treble included, why not ask for the impossible and reunite the Gallaghers exceptionally? Noel says: "I've been in the same room with Liam, but even then no one has said anything about it. The truth is that if we ever come back it will be for money, just for that." For money and for the Champions...
The brothers are proud City hooligans, so their fans are wild on the web waiting for them to deliver on their promises. The adjectives that have accompanied Guardiola's name in recent hours are endless. The Gallaghers' fights and disdain they dished out to other musicians, neither. Is Oasis back? Let Guardiola say it.
