🔗 Share this article Manchester City's manager Expresses Regret Over Broadcast Crew Incident Following Loss to Magpies Pep Guardiola has admitted feeling "shame" after an exchange with a TV crew member in the wake of the Citizens' loss at Newcastle on Saturday. When the match concluded, an emotional Guardiola stepped onto the field and had heated discussions with match official Sam Barrott and Newcastle’s Bruno Guimarães, and also touched the headphones of the camera operator. "I apologised," the manager remarked. "I'm humiliated, regretful, when I see it. I don’t like it. I immediately apologized to the cameraman. That's just me. After 1,000 games I’m not a perfect person, errors happen." "What is for sure, I stand by my team and club, without a doubt. The reason why I support my squad is no doubt – because from my experience to win the Premier League we need near-perfect totals, 98 points, or we fall short." City's Position and Manager's Take City are third and trail leaders Arsenal by seven points after what was their fourth league defeat this campaign. "Four defeats in twelve matches we have to improve a lot," Guardiola admitted. "Mathematically, it’s possible still achieve all." The manager was asked about a potential quadruple could be achieved, he responded: "You are an experienced journalist, have you ever heard me about the quadruple last winter when we won the quadruple? Never." Interaction with Guimarães On the subject of his talk with Guimarães, the coach explained: "We have known Bruno for many years and every time after the game, even at the Etihad, we converse. Our paths always cross and we get along well. I love it. I’m an emotional guy, I love to talk and move my hands." He wouldn't mind if an opposition manager addressed his squad right after the final whistle. "No - as long as it's respectful like I always have done, it’s not a problem," he said, mentioning the referee. "The referee was involved for 95 minutes, 98 minutes, constantly. My God, very much so." Debatable Calls City were unhappy that Barrott or the VAR denied a spot-kick on a Schär tackle on Phil Foden, while they also questioned Bruno's positioning when Harvey Barnes scored the decisive strike. Pictures published later show he was level. Next Big Match Guardiola will take charge of his 100th Champions League game versus Leverkusen this week. "That's impressive, it means that every season annually," he said. City have 10 points after four games of the league phase, and Leverkusen hold five.
