Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has apologised to former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard for bizarrely mocking his infamous slip against Chelsea in April 2014.
Speaking on Friday, just days after the Citizens had been accused of breaching over 100 Premier League regulations, with many relating to their financial accounts between 2009 and 2018, Guardiola launched a staunch defence of Manchester City and the legitimacy of their achievements in the English game over the last decade.
The Spaniard then appeared to mock Gerrard and his unfortunate mistake in the 2-0 Premier League defeat to Jose Mourinho's side in April 2014, rhetorically asking if City were to blame. The Reds skipper, placed on the halfway line, received the ball from team-mate Mamadou Sakho before losing his footing where Demba Ba would profit and subsequently hand Chelsea the lead. It's a moment that is largely viewed as having cost the Reds their first league title success in 25 years.
