'I cannot invite him because I don't have his mobile... and he doesn't have WhatsApp!': Santiago Canizares reveals why Pep Guardiola was snubbed from ex-Spain team-mates' group chat and claims Man City boss is part of 'radicalised' Catalonian society

Former goalkeeper Santiago Canizares has denied that Pep Guardiola has been left out of a WhatsApp group including his former Spain team-mates for his views on Catalonian independence.

In a documentary called 'Play it again, Pep', the Manchester City boss addressed the conflicting political views he holds in comparison to his former international team-mates, and revealed he had been left out of the group that they use to keep in touch.

But speaking to Radio Marca on Wednesday evening, Canizares - who played with Guardiola at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona - revealed he holds little power in the group.
