Pep Guardiola launched into an extraordinary rant at the BBC after Manchester City kept alive their hopes of a Double at Wembley.
Bernardo Silva’s late winner against Chelsea saw the defending FA Cup champions squeeze into next month’s final where they will face either rivals Manchester United or Coventry City.
But Guardiola was incensed afterwards, taking aim at broadcasters and the authorities by claiming they are damaging the health of players and that he is powerless to force change.
Guardiola was fuming at the 66-hour gap between Wednesday’s Champions League exit at the hands of Real Madrid and this semi-final against Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea.
