Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino apologises to Pep Guardiola after heated Man City finale

Manager Pep Guardiola of Manchester City was left anticipating a salutation from Mauricio Pochettino, manager of Chelsea, but it never materialized.

At the conclusion of a scintillating match between Manchester City and Chelsea, Mauricio Pochettino expressed regret to Pep Guardiola and the match officials for his outburst.

Chelsea were tied 4-4 in the fifth minute of injury time on Cole Palmer’s penalty kick, after Rodri believed he had secured the victory with his late effort that was deflected in off Thiago Silva. However, Guardiola was left waiting as Pochettino proceeded to remonstrate with the authorities without shaking the City manager’s hand.

Guardiola maintained his lack of remorse regarding the incident. “Not an issue. “That is not an issue,” he responded.

“I have nothing to say but one word.” Everything is perfect. The emotions occasionally occur within me. Everything is perfect. Maintain my understanding. It has occurred previously under Pochettino, and I do not desire it to occur again. “Everything is absolutely fine.”

In contrast, the Chelsea manager stated in a press conference that he was enraged that the final signal was missed when he believed Raheem Sterling had the opportunity to advance and score another goal.

“I need to apologise to Anthony [Taylor] and the refs and the fourth officials because in this moment I felt that maybe Raheem can go and score the fifth,” said the player. “At that moment, I also turn to Anthony and inquire, ‘What the hell is going on? Why have you stopped at this moment?'”

“Upon turning around, I stated that I deserved to be arrested because I exceeded the limit, but I apologize because that does not reflect well on my persona. “I also wish to extend my apologies to [Guardiola] for the fact that I was preoccupied with my reaction and failed to notice him at that moment.”
