Pep Guardiola has criticised Manchester City's rivals for 'whispering' about them following the Court of Arbitration for Sport's ruling of their Champions League ban.

Jose Mourinho and Jurgen Klopp were both critical of the decision, which saw City's two-year ban from Champions League overturned by the independent body.

Guardiola said: "Jose and all the managers should know we were damaged, we should be apologised to. We don't expect Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea or Wolves to defend us.

"Yesterday was a good day for football. We played with the same rules as everyone. If we break them then we would've been banned.

"How many times have people come to our club whispering about us? I'd love for it to finish. Look in our eyes and say something to us, face to face. We'll shake hands if we lose. But they lost off the pitch. They have to go on the pitch and try to beat us like the sportsmen that we are.

"Don't go behind (us) and start whispering, seven or eight clubs, on what we should do. Our reputation was damaged. Now we show that they were not true. People should accept it. We should complain and we aren't. The other (clubs) should say much more on this.

"I know that for elite clubs like Liverpool, United, Arsenal, it is uncomfortable us being here but they have to understand we deserve to be with them and fighting for the achievements that they have achieved in the past."
