Guardiola: I apologised to Gerrard over stupid comments

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola issued a public apology to Steven Gerrard over comments he made about the former Liverpool captain last week.

Guardiola brought up the subject of Gerrard's slip against Chelsea in the Premier League title run-in of 2014 as he defended City in light of financial allegations.

Guardiola asked hypothetically if City were to blame for Gerrard's slip, which allowed Chelsea to score and win at Anfield, handing the initiative to City in a title race which they subsequently won.
