When the match concluded, an emotional Guardiola stepped onto the field and engaged in intense talks with match official Sam Barrott and Magpies midfielder Bruno Guimarães, while also handling the headphones of the camera operator. "I said sorry," the manager remarked. "I feel embarrassed, ashamed, when I see it. I don’t like it. I immediately apologized to the operator. I am who I am. With a thousand matches under my belt I'm far from perfect, I make huge mistakes." "What is for sure, I defend any team and my club, that’s for sure. Why I want to defend my team is no doubt – because from my experience to win the Premier League we have to do 100 points, high nineties, otherwise we don’t win it."

"Four defeats in twelve matches means we must do better," Guardiola admitted. "Technically, we can to win everything."

Our paths always cross and we get along well. I love it. I'm passionate, I love to talk and move my hands." He wouldn't mind if an opposition manager spoke to his players immediately after a game. "Not if you talk with respect like I always have done, it's fine," he noted, before referencing Barrott. "He was part of it throughout the match, constantly. My God, very much so." 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 Bruno's positioning on Barnes' goal the decisive strike. Pictures published later indicate the Brazilian was onside. Next Big Match Guardiola will take charge of his 100th Champions League game versus Leverkusen on Tuesday.
