Everyone looked at him when he came to watch the match/ The basketball world also loves Pep Guardiola!

Pep Guardiola, who went to the basketball hall of the club to watch the match of his beloved team Barcelona, distracted everyone from the game.

According to Sports Three, the meeting between the basketball teams Barcelona and Olympiakos in the Euroleague competition was overshadowed by a special event, and Pep Guardiola's unexpected presence on the stands drew the attention of the audience so much that it is no exaggeration to say that some of the spectators were constantly looking at Guardiola, who was sitting on the side of the court in the first row, more than watching the game.

There is no soccer player who does not know what Pep Guardiola is famous for in Barcelona and the entire state of Catalonia. Pep is one of the most famous people in the world of football, but his popularity in the city of Barcelona and the state of Catalonia is something else. In addition to his popularity as one of the best coaches in the history of football, Pep is also popular in this state for his positions in favor of Catalan independence for reasons beyond sports, and the vast majority of people in this state admire him as a great legend.

Before the start of this basketball match against the strong Olympiakos team (one of the traditional giants of European basketball), the Barcelona fans had filled the Palau Blaugrana hall (Barça's home basketball hall) to support their team in the sensitive European match in the Euroleague (similar to the Champions League in basketball). They had no idea that they were going to be surprised.

It took some time for this news to spread from one fan to another and spread around the hall that Pep Guardiola had come to watch the game in silence. It was in the middle of the second quarter of the match that some of the stands noticed Guardiola's presence and the hall suddenly roared.

The chant "Pep, Pep Guardiola" filled the air and the wave of applause reached such a point that Pep had to get up, waved with a smile on his face, and sent a kiss to the Catalan fans.

Of course, Guardiola was not the only famous person present in the hall, and Czech basketball star Jan Wesley, who had bid farewell to the basketball world and the Barcelona jersey at the end of last season due to a knee injury, was also present in the hall to watch the battle of his former team.

Wesley is a special and very popular figure for Catalan basketball players and has a brilliant history in European basketball. In 2017, he won the EuroLeague Cup under the tutelage of Željko Obradović with Turkish Fenerbahçe and was selected as the most valuable player of this tournament in the 2018-19 season. After playing 414 matches in the Euroleague for fifteen seasons, this veteran center retired as the record holder for the most two-pointers in the history of the competition (1701 throws), fourth in statistical efficiency (5481), sixth in total points (4359) and third in rebounds (1906).

Speaking to Movistar on the sidelines of this match, Wesley said: "Life is wonderful right now. I enjoy spending time with my family, I have more free time and I don't travel as long as I used to. Although I miss the past, I think I made the best decision. "The timing of this decision was perfect, and of course I still live in Barcelona."
