- City drew with Copenhagen in UCL
- Had goal ruled out for handball
- Guardiola puzzled by controversial rulings
WHAT HAPPENED? Following Manchester City's 0-0 draw with Copenhagen in the Champions League where Rodri had a goal disallowed for a handball in the build-up, Guardiola was quizzed on his understanding of the rule, to which he responded by referring to other decisions to highlight the inconsistency.
WHAT HE SAID: When asked if he understood the handball rule in his press conference, he answered: "No, we saw what happened in Inter Milan vs Barcelona last week, and Arsenal vs Liverpool with Saliba (*Gabriel) one action in the first half. So, no [I don't understand]."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: City had a goal chalked off against Copenhagen on Tuesday when the ball dropped down and hit Riyad Mahrez's hand in the build-up to Rodri's superb strike - the latest in a string of inconsistent handball decisions. Liverpool were denied a penalty at the weekend when the ball struck Gabriel's outstretched arm, with officials declaring it was too close for him to avoid the contact.
