“I want all the records and now I have it” - Pep Guardiola makes sarcastic remark after 2-match ban for 6th yellow card this season
Guardiola's two-match ban covers Premier League and FA Cup games but excludes the Carabao Cup final, triggered by his sixth yellow card this season.
- On Saturday, Pep Guardiola, Manchester City manager, received his sixth yellow card, triggering a two-game touchline ban after protesting during City's 3-1 win at St James' Park.
- Guardiola ran to fourth official Lewis Smith, shouted at him and clenched his fists after Doku was denied a foul, then followed Kolo Toure into the referee's notebook, continuing clashes with referee Sam Barrott.
- Guardiola joked he would 'go on holiday' for the two games he will miss and claimed City 'have all the records' in the country, including his new record for yellow cards.
- He will miss the trip to West Ham next Saturday and City's FA Cup quarter-final weekend of April 4-5, but the ban excludes the Carabao Cup final at Wembley and Champions League matches.
- The episode adds to scrutiny of Barrott and VAR after a January VAR reversal angered Guardiola; missing his touchline presence could impact Wembley ties and the title race as quarter-final progress is secured.
