🔗 Share this article Manchester City's manager Expresses Remorse Over Broadcast Crew Incident Following Loss to Newcastle Pep Guardiola has admitted feeling "shame" following an exchange with a TV crew member in the wake of the Citizens' loss away to the Magpies on Saturday. When the match concluded, a visibly upset Guardiola stepped onto the field and engaged in intense talks with the referee, Sam Barrott and Newcastle’s Bruno Guimarães, while also handling the broadcast crew's equipment. "I said sorry," Guardiola stated. "I'm humiliated, regretful, when I see it. I don’t like it. I immediately apologized to the cameraman. I am who I am. After 1,000 games I'm far from perfect, errors happen." "One thing is certain, I stand by my team and club, without a doubt. Why I want to defend my team is clear – based on my career to clinch the title we have to do 100 points, high nineties, otherwise we don’t win it." City's Position and Manager's Take City are third and trail leaders Arsenal by seven points after what was their fourth league defeat of the season. "Losing four games out of 12 means we must do better," Guardiola admitted. "Mathematically, it’s possible still achieve all." The manager was asked about a potential quadruple could be achieved, he responded: "As a seasoned reporter, did you hear my talk about the quadruple in December during our historic run? Never." Interaction with Guimarães Regarding his confrontation with Guimarães, Guardiola said: "I've known him a long time and every time after the game, even at the Etihad, we converse. Our paths always cross and we get along well. I enjoy it. I'm passionate, I like discussing and move my hands." He wouldn't mind if an opposition manager addressed his squad right after the final whistle. "Not if it's respectful like I always have done, it's fine," he said, mentioning the referee. "The referee was involved throughout the match, constantly. My God, very much so." Debatable Calls City were unhappy that the officials denied a spot-kick on a Schär tackle on Phil Foden, and doubted Bruno's positioning when Harvey Barnes scored Newcastle’s 70th-minute winner. Pictures published later indicate the Brazilian was onside. Next Big Match He will manage his century in Europe against Bayer Leverkusen this week. "That's impressive, it means that every season we have been there," he commented. The club has ten points after four games in the group, while Leverkusen have five.
