Pep Guardiola makes ‘Spanish referees’ remark after Manchester City held to draw

Pep Guardiola has criticized Spanish referees after Manchester City were held to a draw against Monaco in their recent match. The manager claimed he has "nothing to say to Spanish referees" following a late penalty decision that allowed Monaco to equalize. Erling Haaland scored twice for City, but they were unable to hold on to their lead as Jordan Teze and Eric Dier's late penalty canceled out their advantage. Despite City's dominant performance, they ultimately dropped two points in the match. The decision to award the penalty was made by video assistant referee Jesús Gil Manzano, who deemed that Nico González's high boot against Dier merited punishment. Guardiola's comments suggest he was unhappy with the officiating, though the article does not provide further details on his specific concerns.
