Pep Guardiola went to war with his former club Barcelona on Wednesday as Manchester City’s manager defended his current employers in the wake of their European ban.
Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu has “thanked” UEFA for banning City from the Champions League and Europa League for two years, a shock sentence handed out on Friday which the Premier League champions plan to appeal.
But Guardiola reacted angrily when asked about both incidents after Wednesday’s 2-0 win over West Ham. “He asks right now the people trust what they have done, so that is what we’re going to do. We believe that we are right and we are going to appeal and maybe it happens.“Because everybody’s involved sometimes in situations. But we are going to appeal and hopefully in the future we can play the Champions League against Barcelona.”
“It is not finished because the club believes it is unfair and we are optimistic that in the end truth will prevail and next season, if we qualify for the Champions League, we will be there,” he said.“First because I want to say it is something special but more than the contract I have, I said before and I say now, I will see out my contract.
