Pep Guardiola hits out at Barcelona after their president backed Man City's Champions League ban

Pep Guardiola has hit back at his former club Barcelona after their president appeared to support Manchester City's two-season Champions League ban by UEFA.

City were banished from all UEFA competitions after alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play regulations, but will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and are confident of overturning the ruling.

But in light of the decision, Barca chief Josep Bartomeu spoke out to 'thank' UEFA for their work to ensure clubs obey FFP rules and said the club supported them.
