It was a pretty good day for Manchester City.
They put five past struggling Crystal Palace, Raheem Sterling scored in his fourth league game in a row, and they sit atop the Premier League table.
There was one odd moment though – Pep Guardiola was captured appearing to give a ball boy a pep talk (no pun intended).

Apparently Guardiola was just telling him to get the ball back into play quicker – but that didn’t stop fans on Twitter trying to guess what he said to him.
Pep was talking to that ball boy like he was giving him tactical instructions

Pep using a ball boy to get instructions to the other side of the pitch is amazing 😂😂

What could Pep be saying to the ball boy? #MCICRY @ManCity— Arun Singh (@absolut_nerd) September 23, 2017
What was Pep doing with the ball boy? Thought it was a sub at first till he sat down

Much like the climatic scene to Lost In Translation, where Bill Murray whispers something inaudible into Scarlet Johansson’s hear, we’ll probably never know for sure.
