Barcelona wing-back Joao Cancelo has hit out at parent club Manchester City.

Cancelo is on-loan at Barca from City for the season.

He said while with the Portugal squad: "I think Manchester City were a bit ungrateful to me, because I was a very important player in the years I was there. I never failed in my commitment to the club, to the fans and I always gave my all.

"What (Pep) Guardiola said about me? They told lies, I have never been a bad teammate for them and you can ask (Nathan) Aké or Rico. I remember one moment when I was mugged and attacked and the next day I was playing at the Emirates against Arsenal.

"These are things that are not forgotten, I left my wife and daughter alone at home, terrified.

"People will only remember this because Mr. Guardiola has much more strength than me when he says something and I prefer to keep it to myself."
