Pep Guardiola is considered as one of the greatest managers of all time. He is currently the manager of the Premier League club Manchester City who are the reigning PL champions and have won back-to-back titles under his guidance in the previous two seasons. Apart from Man City, Guardiola has also managed other elite clubs like Bayern Munich. He has also made 47 appearances for Spain from 1992 to 2001 where his role was that of a defensive midfielder.

DMRC uses Pep Guardiola's gesture as a meme
DMRC had used Pep Guardiola's gesture as a meme on their official Twitter handle. It might be due to the passengers playing the waiting game for the metro to arrive during peak hours. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation posted a GIF of the Manchester City manager and wrote that this is what the reply would be when your friend asks how many metros have passed while waiting for him. Take a look.
The reality behind Guardiola's meme
The meme of Pep Guardiola is from Manchester City's away game against Liverpool which was played at the Anfield Stadium on Sunday where the reigning Premier League champions suffered a 3-1 loss. City were denied a penalty not once but twice despite the VAR facility. When the refereeing blunder happened for the second time, the Man City manager lost his composure and was seen having a heated argument with the fourth official. An enraged Guardiola then held up two fingers and pointed it at the officials as well as the crowd to indicate that his team was deprived of two penalty chances. Fabinho, Mohamed Salah, and Sadio Mane scored a goal each for Liverpool while Bernardo Silva scored the lone goal for the visitors.
