The Manchester City boss took exception to a front page story in Mundo Deportivo last month, and delivered a lengthy riposte during his press conference at Camp Nou.
Pep Guardiola has hit out at a newspaper that claimed he called Lionel Messi and Neymar in an attempt to sign them for Manchester City this summer.
Barcelona paper Mundo Deportivo ran a front page story in September claiming that Guardiola had tried to persuade the two players to join him in Manchester, and that City’s CEO, Ferran Soriano, had held up to three meetings with Messi’s camp.
But Guardiola, speaking at Camp Nou ahead of City’s Champions League clash with his former club Barca, took the opportunity to give a lengthy riposte.
