After the victory over City, the Liverpool football club started an investigation into allegations that the guest coach, Guardiola, was pelted with coins from the stands at Anfield Road.
The aforementioned situation occurred after supporters of the citizens sang derogatory verses addressed to the victims of Hillsboro. Also, it is stated that a derogatory inscription on the subject of that tragedy appeared on the door of the toilet, in the sector for away fans.
Guardiola got into a verbal argument with the fans after Phil Foden’s goal was disallowed due to Erling Haaland’s previous foul on Fabinho and then, allegedly, Liverpool fans threw coins at the Spanish coach.
“Next time they have to be more precise. They didn’t hit me, they tried several times, but they didn’t manage to hit the target,’ said an angry and disappointed Pep Guardiola after the match.
It also followed up on the situation from the previous season, where a bus with Manchester City’s coaching staff and players was attacked by Liverpool fans.
They succeeded once, remember 2018 and the hellish welcome in the Champions League? Then they stoned us and managed to hit a few of us, but it was nothing serious. This time they were much more imprecise,’ Pep finished.
An eyewitness said that a coin and a piece of chewing gum flew in Guardiola’s direction, and if the perpetrator is found, he faces a lifetime suspension from football events on the island.
