Pep Guardiola said members of Manchester City's hierarchy "don't need to apologise" to him for putting his squad through a distracting week of uncomfortable questions regarding the failed Super League project.
The manager, speaking after a 2-1 win over Aston Villa on Wednesday, insisted the Super League mess is a "closed chapter" as far as he's concerned. He would prefer to discuss the happenings on the pitch, where the Citizens could win three trophies in a span of just a couple of months.
Nonetheless, chief executive Ferran Soriano did say sorry to fans for briefly signing on to the controversial competition many felt went against club values.
