Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has apologised to Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard today.

Guardiola has apologised for comments made about Gerrard over his infamous slip at Anfield when defending City after the Premier League's FFP charges.

He said: “They were stupid comments.

"He knows how I admire him, his career, what he has done for the country in which I'm living and working. I'm ashamed of myself.

"He doesn't deserve it. I was defending my club but didn't represent it well by using his name."
