‘Feel embarrassed, ashamed when I see it’: Pep Guardiola reacts to altercation with cameraman after Manchester City’s 1-2 loss to Newcastle United

“I apologise. I feel embarrassed, ashamed when I see it. I don’t like it. I apologised after one second to the cameraman. I am who I am. After 1,000 games, I’m not a perfect person; I make huge mistakes. It’s not about that. What is for sure, I defend any team and my club, that’s for sure. The reason why is I want to defend my team and my club,” Guardiola said on Monday, ahead of City’s Champions League clash against Bayer Leverkusen.

He also had a confrontation with Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes, but admitted that he had done nothing wrong in that case.

“We have known Bruno for many, many years, and every time after the game, even at the Etihad, we talk in the tunnel or wherever we talk, always. I don’t know what happened. Our paths always cross, and I always have a good relationship with him. I love it. I’m an emotional guy, I love to talk and move my hands and my arms and everything,” he said.

The Catalan manager also confirmed that City will be without the services of midfielder Rodri for the clash on Tuesday.

“Not long, not short, but not long. We’re in the process that he will be back, and when he is back we
will wait a little bit more to make sure he’s fine,” he said.
City are in fourth place in the Champions League standings, with three wins in four matches and 10 points to their name.
