Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has issued an apology after a number of City players and staff members were filmed singing about Liverpool supporters last weekend.
City retained their Premier League title after a dramatic title race alongside the Reds with a 4-1 win against Brighton & Hove Albion on the final day of the season.

PA journalist Andy Hampson covered the press conference and cited Guardiola’s answer.

City’s actions last weekend certainly divided opinion and the FA revealed that they would be taking no action against the club, with City also in hot water with UEFA regarding financial fair play rules.
