Pep Guardiola has condemned the Manchester City supporters who showed a severe lack of respect for the 33rd anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster ahead of today's FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool.
Both sets of players were stood in arms on either side of the centre circle as those inside Wembley paused to remember the lives of those sadly lost, though referee Michael Oliver was forced to bring the planned minute's silence to a premature end after a section of City supporters began chanting.
Liverpool fans responded to this by booing those who decided to act in this manner, meanwhile a club statement was later released regarding this incident. It read: “Manchester City are extremely disappointed with the actions of some City supporters during the minute’s silence before today’s game. The Club sincerely apologises to all those connected with Liverpool Football Club.”
