Pep Guardiola Apologizes for Confronting Cameraman After Newcastle Defeat

A former refereeing chief says officials will request his observations.

Overview

  • Guardiola said he felt "embarrassed and ashamed" and that he apologised to the cameraman immediately after the incident.
  • The confrontation followed Manchester City's 2-1 loss at St James’ Park, which featured disputed refereeing and VAR decisions.
  • Photographers documented Guardiola lifting the camera operator’s headset and speaking into his ear before a colleague intervened.
  • Ex-PGMOL chief Keith Hackett indicated authorities will seek Guardiola’s account and could review the cameraman’s positioning.
  • No disciplinary outcome has been announced, and Guardiola addressed the incident ahead of City’s Champions League game against Bayer Leverkusen, with Rodri still out.
