Guardiola: I am ashamed that we worked for those wonderful people for 400 years

Pep Guardiola supported the gesture of the team and coaching staff of Manchester City, which was accepted by opponents and referees in the match against Arsenal.

Before the start of the match after the coronavirus, the players and coaches of the home team knelt on the ground and raised their fists in protest, thus showing solidarity with the hundreds of thousands who are protesting in America because a white police officer killed George Floyd.

Both teams played in jerseys that read "Black lives matter" instead of the player's name.

"We have to send a thousand billion messages for black people because of everything we did for 400 years to those wonderful people. I'm ashamed and embarrassed, I'm embarrassed by everything white people have done to black people. How can anyone think they are better than one who is born black? Every gesture in this sense is good and positive, but we must use the facts and do everything to eradicate racism. In the 21st century, it is not only present in the USA, but all over the world. We have to help people with black skin in a way we haven't done so far," said Guardiola.
