Manchester City boss Guardiola apologises to ex-Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard over slip comments

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has apologised to Steven Gerrard for comments he made about the ex-Liverpool captain's slip against Chelsea.

Liverpool went on to narrowly miss out on the Premier League title to City.

"I apologise to Steven Gerrard for my unnecessary and stupid comments," said Guardiola.

"He knows how I admire him and his career and what he has done for this country I am living and training in."

The infamous slip by Gerrard, who did not win a Premier League winners' medal during his career, allowed Demba Ba to put Chelsea in front when they won at Anfield in April 2014.
