Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola looked out on a sea of celebration at one end of Wembley while his Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger was met by thousands upon thousands of empty seats at the other.
The Carabao Cup final was drawing to its inevitable conclusion as City led 3-0 and the contrasting scenes at either end of the stadium took on almost symbolic significance as Guardiola prepared to celebrate his first trophy as Manchester City manager while Wenger saw the old glories he once enjoyed retreat even further into the distance.
In many ways, Guardiola now represents what Wenger used to be when the Frenchman arrived at Arsenal in 1996 to change the face of the game in England with his revolutionary methods and a purist approach.
