Manchester City left-back, Benjamin Mendy, has risked the wrath of Pep Guardiola with his latest Instagram story.
The France international has missed a large part of the season so far with injury problems and tagged himself at Hong Kong airport in his latest Instagram post, despite Guardiola being under the impression he was heading to Paris.
TLDR? Mendy’s latest social media antics in five key points…
- An Insta story published on Friday morning suggested Mendy was in Hong Kong.
- Guardiola was stunned when asked about this by reporters at today’s press conference.
- Mendy had told Man City he would be in Paris.
- In response to the news, Mendy tweeted that the Insta story was just a joke.
- Guardiola has previously expressed frustration with Mendy’s use of social media.
The Catalan coach was informed about Mendy’s latest social media post at a press conference on Friday, with the former Barcelona manager seeming less than impressed.
In response, Guardiola exclaimed: “Hong Kong? F***. Is he? He said he was going to Paris, but Hong Kong – I don’t know.
“Yesterday he’s in Barcelona. Hong Kong – that’s definitely not okay.
“Hong Kong? Wow. That is a long way. I need to get on Instagram.”
Mendy has heard about Guardiola’s reaction and has already tried to smooth things over with his manager, posting on his official Twitter account: “It was just joking with my uber driver.
“I don’t want no problems Pep.”

Guardiola has already reprimanded Mendy over his attitude to social media in the past, especially considering the amount of time the full-back has spent on the treatment table.
Mendy will miss Sunday’s clash against Chelsea with a meniscus injury, with Guardiola urging him to ‘be careful’.
“It’s not easy,” said the City manager. “The meniscus is not easy. He needs to re-adapt. If you start training in two days you are not fit. He has to handle the effort we are putting on him – he has to be careful.”
