"I'm ashamed"

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola apologised for his unsavoury clash with the cameraman shortly after the match against Newcastle, saying he was `shameful and embarrassed.'

Guardiola was emotional after losing 1-2 to Harvey Barnes in Newcastle in the 12th round of the English Premier League (EPL) on the 23rd (Korea time). Manchester City missed the opportunity to leap to second place in the Premier League due to the away defeat on the day, and gave Newcastle a league victory for the first time since January 2019.




Guardiola was furious after the match, arguing with the cameraman next to the ground and having intense conversations with the umpires as well. He was also seen in a violent conversation with Newcastle captain Bruno Guimarães. In the process, he was seen pulling the cameraman's headset as if he was trying to take it off and trying to say something.

Guardiola said at a press conference ahead of the European Champions League's Leverkusen match on the 25th, `I am ashamed and embarrassed to see my actions. I don't like it. I apologized immediately to the cameraman." "I am who I am. I played 1,000 games, but it's not perfect. I made a big mistake"The reason I'm doing this is because I want to protect my team and club"

Manchester City bowed their heads after being caught up in controversial penalty kicks, handball and offside decisions against Newcastle. As the emotions of both teams intensified, Manchester City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was called into the tunnel, and Newcastle midfielder Joelinton was stopped by manager Eddie Howe.

Guimarães and Guardiola had a brief war of words on the spot after the game. Guardiola has a long-standing relationship with Guimarães. Talk anytime, anywhere after the game. have a good relationship. I'm an emotional person, moving my hands and arms and expressing them."

Guardiola's Manchester City is set to play against Leverkusen in the European Champions League at 5 a.m. on the 26th. This is Guardiola's 100th Champions League match since he took the helm of Manchester City. Guardiola beat Inter Milan in Istanbul in 2023 to win the championship, but there was also a disappointing defeat. They lost to Chelsea in the 2021 final, and to Real Madrid in the semi-finals the following year.

Guardiola feels that he is getting older"Every weekend is a milestone. We are the only English team in the last 14 years to reach the Champions League in a row. It's been there every year, and I expect it to be there next year as well." The Champions League challenge is a special experience for players, coaches and everyone. For the club, it is very important in terms of honor and finance. There are more disappointments than joy. Of course, it was a great experience. Both good and hard moments define our team and club. Sports can't always walk on flowery paths. It's not just easy and comfortable."

Last season was the first year Manchester City missed the major championship cup. They were eliminated from the European Champions League play-offs, finished third in the Premier League, and finished second in the FA Cup final, losing to Crystal Palace. Defender Yoshko Gvardiol "It was the hardest season of my life. I couldn't sleep. I tried to find a solution and I wanted to help both the team and the club. Sometimes things don't go the way you want them to, but I'm glad it's a long time ago."
