Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was quite upset after his team dropped a crucial lead in the Manchester Derby, but his words after the match may not go down well among the team's loyal supporters.
The former Bayern boss did not waste time to share his feelings on the first goal by Manchester United, stating that both the ref and the linesman dropped the ball by not giving his team an offisde decision due to Marcus Rashford's position.
"Distract our keeper and distract our defender. The rule I don't know is the rule"

And then, when most fans were expecting Guardiola to offer them some comfort words after two straight losses, the Spanish boss practically throwed in the towel when it comes to the Premier League title race, as he is uninterested in the outcome of the league after this painful loss. Here are Guardiola's thoughts on the "non-existent" title race in the English top-flight (Image might be geo-restricted).
"I don't care about the title race, I care how we preform!"

It is safe to say that this loss did not go down well for Pep and his team, but let us see how his words are taken by his bosses and the millions of Manchester City supporters around the world, especially after practically handing the title on a silver platter to Arsenal.
