Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola says he regrets losing his cool with a cameraman in the aftermath of Manchester City\u2019s 2\u20131 defeat to Newcastle United on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The City manager stormed onto the pitch at St James\u2019 Park, angered by what he believed were multiple contentious decisions, a denied penalty, a handball shout, and a marginal offside, all of which went against his side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to BBC Sport on Monday, the Spaniard marched onto the pitch at the end, speaking with referee Sam Barrott, while he also pulled the headphones off of a cameraman to say something into his ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI apologised. I feel embarrassed, ashamed when I see it. I don\u2019t like it. I apologised after one second to the cameraman. I am who I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAfter 1,000 games, I\u2019m not a perfect person; I make huge mistakes. The reason why is I want to defend my team and my club,\u201d Guardiola said of the incident, but did not reveal what was said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were flare-ups involving the players, too, with City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma being ushered down the tunnel and Magpies midfielder Joelinton being held back by his manager, Eddie Howe, while Guardiola also had words to say to Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guardiola added: \u201cWe have known Bruno for many, many years, and every time after the game, even at the Etihad, we talk in the tunnel or wherever we talk, always. I don\u2019t know what happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
