When the match concluded, an emotional 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. It's not acceptable. I immediately apologized to the cameraman. I am who I am. After 1,000 games I’m not a perfect person, I make huge mistakes." "One thing is certain, I defend any team and my club, that’s for sure. The reason why I support my squad is no doubt – based on my career to clinch the title we have to do 100 points, 98 points, otherwise we don’t win it."

"Losing four games out of 12 we have to improve a lot," he conceded. "Technically, we can to win everything." The manager was asked if this meant the quadruple was a realistic aim, he responded: "You are an experienced journalist, did you hear my talk about the quadruple last winter when we won the quadruple? No." Exchange with Bruno On the subject of his talk with Guimarães, the coach explained: "I've known him a long time and every time after the game, even at the Etihad, we talk in the tunnel. We often meet and I always have a good relationship. I enjoy it. I’m an emotional guy, I like discussing and gesticulate." Guardiola would not be concerned if an opposition manager addressed his squad immediately after a game. "Not if it's respectful like I always have done, it's fine," he said, mentioning the referee. "The referee was involved for 95 minutes, 98 minutes, constantly. My God, he was involved." Controversial Decisions The team felt aggrieved that the officials did not award City a penalty on a Schär tackle against Foden, while they also questioned if Guimarães was offside when Harvey Barnes scored Newcastle’s 70th-minute winner. Subsequent images show he was level. Next Big Match He will manage his century in Europe against Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday. "It’s quite good, it means that every season annually," he said. The club has ten points after four games in the group, while Leverkusen have five.
