Man City boss Pep Guardiola delivers politically-charged speech about Gaza after receiving his honorary degree from University of Manchester

Pep Guardiola delivered a powerful and politically-charged speech about Gaza after receiving his honorary degree from the University of Manchester on Monday.

The Man City manager, who was awarded with an honorary doctorate degree for his contribution to the city during his nine years at the Etihad, admitted the war is Gaza 'hurts all [his] body' and sent a powerful warning to those who are turning a blind eye.

Guardiola joined Manchester City in 2016, succeeding Manuel Pellegrini, and has since won a rich array of honours including six Premier League titles, four League Cups, two FA Cups and a Champions League trophy.
