Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, on being sent to the stands: "I said it was a goal when the ball was passed to Leroy Sane. That’s why he sent me off. It would have been different to go in 2-0 . It’s different when Salah’s goal at Anfield is offside. It’s different when Gabriel Jesus' goal at Anfield is offside."
And a ;little bit more to add...
Liverpool dashed Manchester City's hopes of Champions League dream by winning 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium.
City took the lead early on through Gabriel Jesus but Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino then hit back.
Guardiola was sent to the stands at half time after storming onto the pitch and venting at the officials.
And, speaking after the match, the Spaniard has now done his best to explain his behaviour at such a crucial time in the match.
"I said it was 'a goal' at half time. That's why he sent me off," he said.
"It's different to go to HT 1-0 not 2-0, it's different when Salah's first goal at Anfield is offside.
"These are the things that influence things. Big congratulations to Liverpool, top team top manager."
"It is what it is. Congratulations to my players, and we will come back stronger next season. We now try to close the Premier League.
"I didn't insult the referee, I just said 'it's a goal, it came off Milner!'"
