Pep Guardiola said he is still fuming with Kyle Walker over the red card that has ruled him out of three Champions League matches.
Manchester City were 2-1 down in the final ten minutes of the dead rubber of a group game in Leipzig when the right-back lashed out at RB Leipzig forward Andre Silva and was given his marching orders. The Blues belatedly decided to appeal the three-match ban handed down to him, arguing that similar incidents had only resulted in a two-match suspension, but UEFA upheld their original decision.
Guardiola was so unhappy with the 'stupid' tackle that he revealed ahead of their game with Sporting that he didn't agree with the decision to appeal. "He deserved the three-game ban," he said.
