'Don't Look Back In Anger' by Manchester band Oasis has become the city's anthem since last year's terror attack, and is one that has had a powerful impact on Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.

The 47-year-old Spaniard's wife and daughters escaped unharmed from the bombing at the Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena in May last year which left 22 dead.

Guardiola said in a wide-ranging interview -- topics included his thoughts on the refugee crisis -- that he and his family sing it in unison when they go out together.

"I like that, after what happened in Manchester at the arena, now it is a song for the people, you know? " Guardiola told the BBC website.

"Like in the video when everyone is in silence and one woman starts to sing the song and everybody sings, that is a moment, it was so touching for my family and for myself."
"Many people suffered, and we were lucky. Life is like this. We were in a better position than many unfortunate ones."
- 'It's about humanity' -

"In the summer, when school was finished, everyone would go to the Sant Joan party and it's a song that reminds me a lot of my little town of Santpedor when I was young."
"It is so complicated even for German kids to learn. Can you imagine for a 41-year-old man? "But I am stubborn."
