Speaking at his press conference after the match, Guardiola commented “I want to harm myself” when he was questioned on the marks.
But the Spaniard has now released a statement saying he did not intend to make light of self-harming with his words.
Guardiola said: “I was caught off guard with a question at the end of a press conference last night about a scratch which had appeared on my face and explained that a sharp fingernail had accidentally caused this.
“My answer was in no way intended to make light of the very serious issue of self harm.
|I know that many people struggle with mental health issues every day, and I would like to take this moment to highlight one of the ways in people can seek help, by calling the Samaritans hotline on 116 123 or emailing jo@samaritans.org.”
