Pep Guardiola has apologised to Steven Gerrard for his "unnecessary and stupid comments" in his press conference on Friday, when he raised the Liverpool captain's famous slip in 2014 during a defence of Manchester City.
Guardiola was expressing his pride in City's history under their Abu Dhabi ownership after the Premier League hit the club with over 100 charges when he mentioned Gerrard's slip against Chelsea, which helped hand the title to City that season.
"I don’t know if we are responsible for Steven Gerrard slipping at Anfield. Was that our fault? I have respect for Steven Gerrard - but that moment belongs to us," Guardiola said on Friday.
