The article discusses an incident involving City defender Rico Lewis, who received a red card during a match for a tackle on Wydad's Samuel Obeng. Guardiola reflected on this dismissal, comparing it to a previous incident where VAR could not overturn a decision. He argued that Lewis did not intend to harm anyone during the play. Obeng suggested that an apology from Lewis was warranted but acknowledged the nature of football. Additionally, Guardiola highlighted the return and performance of Rodri after his injury.
Guardiola noted that Lewis' behavior was not intentional, reflecting on a previous incident where VAR failed to intervene despite the circumstances. "Rico never had intention to hurt anyone... The referee is the boss and had other intentions."
Wydad’s Obeng expressed understanding about the incident, stating, "It's normal. It's football, that can happen. He has to apologise to me -- not me to him."
