- Manager spoke to Manchester City officials before going public
- “Everyone makes mistakes. We apologise and move forward”
Pep Guardiola was happy to declare openly his objections to Manchester City’s involvement in the discredited European Super League since he had previously discussed his views with the club’s executive.
On Tuesday Guardiola was critical of the ESL, saying: “It is not a sport when it doesn’t matter where you lose.” City were one of 15 clubs who would have been guaranteed a place each year in the now-collapsed tournament and the manager made it clear the club was wrong to sign up to the plan.
