Pep Guardiola Shown Yellow Card at Full-Time of Man City Comeback Win after Arguing with the Referee
- 2 years ago
Although Manchester City staged a late comeback to beat Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, Pep Guardiola received a yellow card in normal time for arguing with the referee.
City were frustrated by their German opponents for much of the night at the Etihad Stadium and shortly after half-time when Jude Bellingham headed in a defenseless Ederson.
But two incredible goals in the last 10 minutes, first a shot from John Stones and then a remarkable acrobatic finish from Erling Haaland, turned the game around for City.
Apparently that wasn't enough to make Guardiola happy though, as he began demonstrating with Italian referee Daniel Orsato full-time while Phil Foden also tried to argue the point with him.
The City manager continued to gesticulate angrily at the match official as he walked away and appeared to tell him to shut up.
Orsato booked Guardiola, who comically hugged the referee as he tried to get him to play again. The pair then had a much calmer exchange as they tried to explain their points of view.
Fans on social media reacted to Guardiola's antics and couldn't help but laugh at the Spaniard.
