Pep scratch of the day

CITY BOSS APOLOGY FOR JOKE

- JERRY LAWTON

PEP Guardiola has apologised for joking he wanted to "harm himself" when he appeared on TV sporting a scratched face.

Fans feared for the boss as he pitched up for his post-match press conference after Manchester City's latest foul-up with a cut nose and marks on his head.

He admitted he caused them with his sharp fingernails as he watched City blow a 3-0 lead to draw with Feyenoord in the Champions League.
