Watch: Pep Guardiola argues with the referee after FA Cup final defeat
Xinhua

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola voiced his anger towards the officials following his side’s 2-1 defeat at the hands of rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup final.

It was a fantastic evening at Wembley for anyone in Red as United deserved the win.

Teenage duo Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo made it 2-0 in the first half, while Jeremy Doku made it 2-1 to make for a nervy ending in the season finale.

However, Guardiola was seen at full-time trying to distract away from his team’s performance on the day.

The Spanish manager was spotted engaging in a heated discussion with officials after the final whistle.

City had two penalty shouts throughout the game, but none of the calls were deemed controversial after being denied. The first incident occurred early in the first half when Erling Haaland went down following a slight brush from Lisandro Martinez.

For the second incident, Kobbie Mainoo and Haaland had their arms wrapped around one another. You couldn’t give it one way and not the other.

Check the clip below as Guardiola shares his feelings with the officials.
