Was that our fault?,” said Guardiola.However, after being hit with a backlash from the media and having time to reflect on what he has said, he retracts those comments and reveals that he apologised to the former Liverpool captain.
“I apologise to Steven Gerrard for my unnecessary and stupid comment,” said Guardiola, ahead of his side’s crunch Premier League meeting with Arsenal on Wednesday. “He knows how I admire him, his career and what he has done for this country that I am living and training in.

I’m so sorry to him, his wife Alex and, his kids and family because it was stupid.” Related links:
