Overview
- Pep Guardiola said he felt ashamed of confronting a cameraman after Manchester City’s 2-1 loss at Newcastle and called his behavior a big mistake.
- He told reporters he apologized to the cameraman immediately, acknowledging there was no justification for the outburst.
- Footage widely shared on social media showed Guardiola removing the cameraman’s headphones to speak directly into his ear.
- Guardiola linked his reaction to frustration over the decision to allow Newcastle’s 70th-minute winner, which City believed followed a foul on their goalkeeper.
- In the same press conference he criticized Claudio Echeverri’s limited minutes on loan at Bayer Leverkusen and hinted the player’s agent knows the reasons, with reports of a possible winter recall described as speculative.
