Pep Guardiola releases new statement explaining cuts on face after concerning post-match Man City interview
Pep Guardiola has clarified the comments he made after Manchester City’s 3-3 draw against Feyenoord on Tuesday evening.
Guardiola, 53, was visibly frustrated as his side surrendered a three-goal lead in just 15 minutes to continue their poor run of form.
The draw saw City go 15th in the 36-team Champions League group phase having already dropped points against Inter Milan and Sporting this term.
Pep Guardiola says he did not "intend to make light" of self harm after Manchester City's 3-3 Champions League draw with Feyenoord.
Guardiola, without a win in six games across all competitions - five of those being defeats - acknowledged scratches on his face and body in his post-match press conference, saying: "I want to harm myself."
"It's from my nail on my finger," Guardiola added. "I cut myself with my fingernail [during the game]."
However, the City boss has now rowed back on those comments, issuing a statement on social media, which read: "I was caught off guard with a question at the end of a press conference last night about a scratch which had appeared on my face and explained that a sharp fingernail had accidentally caused this.
"My answer was in no way intended to make light of the very serious issue of self harm.
"I know that many people struggle with mental health issues every day and I would like to take this moment to highlight one of the ways in people can seek help, by calling the Samaritans hotline on 116 123 or emailing jo@samaritans.org."
