“Do you think I am going to give an opinion on the referee? Not all I have never done it,” Guardiola said.
“I can be emotional on the touchline but after I reflect here I am so respectful. Today we didn’t lose because of the referee just like we don’t win because of the referee.
“We won five Premier League titles not for the referee and today we didn’t lose because of the referee, but for ourselves.
