Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side face Newcastle in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg on Wednesday
Pep Guardiola says he wants to use his position to "speak up to be a better society" as he talked at a football news conference about the "hurt" he feels for victims of global conflict.
The Manchester City manager missed media duties last Friday, a day after speaking in support of Palestinian children at a charity concert in his home city of Barcelona.
And speaking ahead of City's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Newcastle on Wednesday, Guardiola spoke passionately about children being killed and injured in conflict zones across the world, saying the footage he sees "hurts me".
He referenced conflicts in Palestine, Ukraine, Sudan and even recent shootings by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in the United States.
