Pep Guardiola did not intend to ‘make light of self-harm’ when explaining cut

Manchester City manager cut his nose with nail at game
Ilkay Gündogan describes team’s form as ‘inexplicable’

Pep Guardiola has said he did not intend to “make light of the very serious issue of self-harm” when he answered a question relating to a cut he made on his nose during Manchester City’s 3-3 draw with Feyenoord.

Guardiola was asked about the cut after City threw away a three-goal lead in their Champions League tie on Tuesday. He said: “From my finger … with my nail. I want to harm myself.” He then laughed and got out of his chair to leave the press conference.
