The Arsenal fan filmed Guardiola as he left the team bus ahead of City’s FA Cup semi-final against Southampton.
In the video he shouts at the City boss: “Pep let Arteta win the league!”
He then told the six-time Premier League winning manager that he has won enough.
Arsenal have not won the Premier League since 2004.

Before pleading again to “let Arteta win something” the fan finished with an expletive rant.
He said: “**** you, you’ve ruined my life!”
Arsenal’s title challenge was dealt a huge blow last week as long-time chasers City beat them 2-1 at the Etihad.
Rayan Cherki and Erling Haaland‘s goals secured the win for Guardiola’s team and put them three points behind Arsenal with a game in hand.

Understandably it was a match that made headlines for various reasons.
Goalscorer Rayan Cherki was seen winding up Arsenal fans once more as he was labelled a “seriously unserious player” after he was spotted doing keepy ups when a brawl broke out.
Gabriel appeared to headbutt rival Haaland but avoided red as the big Norwegian did not go down.
The post-match antics also caught the eyes of the world as City celebrated triumphantly – Gianluigi Donnarumma jumped into the crowd, Bernardo Silva celebrated passionately and Haaland walked around the pitch side-eyeing the camera and smirking.
Arsenal star Declan Rice was seen saying “it’s not done” after the game – a moment which convinced pundit Gary Neville that Arsenal will not win the title.
They have since played their game in hand – beating Burnley 1-0 on Wednesday courtesy of Haaland’s early goal.
It puts them top of the league purely on goals scored as City and Arsenal are level on 70 points and +37 goal difference.
Before going top, City had been in the number one spot for just six days over the entire season.
Guardiola’s men could be going up the gears at the perfect time.
