'I'm still angry with him': Pep Guardiola reveals his rage at Kyle Walker

  /  autty

Pep Guardiola says he is still furious with Kyle Walker after the full-back was given his marching orders during Manchester City's 2-1 defeat to RB Leipzig in the Champions League group stage on December 7.

Walker was handed a three-match European ban instead of the automatic one-match ban after UEFA's control, ethics and disciplinary body referred to his foul on Andre Silva as 'assault'.

Manchester City appealed the length of Walker's ban but had their request denied. However, Guardiola admitted to being against the appeal as he said Walker deserved to sit out three games for his 'stupid' challenge.

When asked about how he felt about the appeal on Walker's ban being rejected, the Manchester City boss said: 'He deserves it. Kyle Walker deserves the three. when a player does this stupid thing he deserves three banned plays.'
