Pep Guardiola Slams VAR Decisions After Controversial Disallowed Goal

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed his frustration over VAR decisions after Antoine Semenyo's goal was controversially disallowed in their Carabao Cup semi-final win at Newcastle. Guardiola referenced several previous VAR calls that went against his team, including a penalty incident involving Phil Foden and a handball by Malick Thiaw. He believes these decisions will make his team stronger, saying 'we know how it works and that will make us stronger.' The City boss also questioned the consistency of VAR, citing the time it took to disallow Semenyo's goal and the lack of action taken on two potential penalties in a previous game. Former players Micah Richards and Jamie Redknapp shared their thoughts on Guardiola's comments, with Richards understanding his frustration and Redknapp suggesting Guardiola is creating an 'us against the world' mentality. Bernardo Silva, who assisted Semenyo's goal, also expressed his frustration, saying 'it is what it is' and that the team is 'quite used to this at the moment.'
