Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola had a weekend to forget.
His side toiled to a goalless draw with Borussia Monchengladbach – despite Bayern having 72 per cent posession – and frustrations boiled over for Pep when he became a little too close with a female fourth official.
Pep started by putting his hand on her hip.

It's an offence in the Bundesliga to make any physical contact with a match official and the Bayern manager could face a retrospective ban from the German football authorities.
The official, Bibiana Steinhaus, also pushed away Pep's hand from her shoulder, which prompted the Spaniard to give her a pretty vigorous handshake.
German football pundit, Ewald Lienen, was critical of Pep's approach:
"It showed a lack of respect, the way he behaved towards Bibiana...it almost looked like he was asking her on a date. The way she shook him off was brilliant."
