Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side face Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday
Pep Guardiola defended his stance of speaking up about global conflicts by asking, "why should I not express what I feel, just because I am a manager?"
On Tuesday, the Manchester City boss said 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.
Guardiola received both praise and criticism for his passionate words, with Jewish community leaders advising the Spaniard to "focus on football" and "be more careful in his future language".
But the 55-year-old did not back down when asked to respond to those comments by BBC Sport, saying: "To be honest, I didn't say anything special. I don't feel that."
