Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp respond to silence disruption in Man City vs Liverpool FC

Pep Guardiola said the Manchester City fans who sang through a minute's silence for the victims of the Hillsborough disaster did not represent what the club stand for.

A small minority of City fans disrupted the silence before the FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool, which came a day after the 33rd anniversary of the disaster. City have released a statement condemning the fans involved and Guardiola backed that up, offering his own apology to Liverpool and distancing the club from those supporters.

"We can only apologise, it doesn’t represent who we want to be. We stand alongside Liverpool Football Club. The statement represents who we are," said Guardiola.
