City drop points as VAR chaos hits again

Pep Guardiola refused to comment on Spanish referees after Manchester City’s 2-2 Champions League draw with Monaco, where a late penalty caused uproar. Erling Haaland’s two first-half goals weren’t enough as referee Jesús Gil Manzano dished out red cards amid chaos.

Guardiola praised City’s display but admitted the penalty decided it. Haaland summed it up simply: “if you kick someone in the face it’s going to be a penalty” — which is also the exact rule in every sibling pillow fight ever played.
