Manchester City Boss Pep Guardiola Admits Fears Over Possible Jail Time for Wearing Yellow Ribbon

Pep Guardiola has admitted he feared jail in his native Spain following the Catalonia Independence Referendum.

The Manchester City boss has worn a yellow ribbon for over a year in support of activists who were jailed in Spain, and saw his side win 3-1 in the Manchester Derby on Sunday.

Guardiola told the Mirror: “What disappoints me is that these people are still in prison a year later and they were accused of something they didn't do.

"If they’re still there then I could be too. There are people who have been wrongly imprisoned for more than a year.
