"When Jeremy Doku dribbles Trippier and goes alone to the box and is being pulled from behind, I'm not asking for a yellow card but it's a foul. I will defend my team. We have all the records in this country, all of them, despite everything. We have the record of the manager with the most yellow cards. I want all the records and now I have it."
"Two game ban now and I will go on holidays the next two games. Oh my god. Oh my god. There are things after 10 years I cannot understand. Review the action. Of course I'm going to defend Doku and all my teams. They continue to do it."
"In the first one [in November] we could not win for the quality of Newcastle and for a reason that is better not to remember and today was on the pitch as well."
Manchester City defeated Newcastle United 3-1 to secure their quarterfinal place. During the match, manager Pep Guardiola was booked for protesting referee Sam Barrott's decision not to award a free kick after Jeremy Doku was pulled down by Kieran Trippier. This was Guardiola's sixth yellow card of the season. He anticipates receiving a two-game suspension, which would cause him to miss upcoming Premier League and FA Cup matches. Guardiola expressed frustration about the decision and referenced similar controversial calls from a previous Newcastle match in November, stating he will continue defending his team despite the disciplinary consequences.
