Guardiola 'ashamed of what white people have done to black people'

Manchester City beat Arsenal 3-0 as the Premier League returned on Thursday, with Pep Guardiola getting the better of his former assistant, Mikel Arteta. 

Raheem Sterling, Kevin de Bruyne and Phil Foden were on target, while Arsenal ended the game with 10 men after David Luiz was sent off. 

Before the game, the two teams replaced the usual player names on the back of the shirts with the words 'Black Lives Matter' following the death of George Floyd in the United States and the subsequent protests across the world. 

Guardiola made reference to the situation after the game, saying that white people should be ashamed of how they have treated black people.

"White people should say sorry for the way we have treated black people for 400 years," Guardiola said in a post-game press conference. 

"We should send a thousand million messages for the black people. I'm embarrassed and ashamed of what the white people have done for the black people.

"How people can think they are different? All the gestures are good and positive. Everything we can do to make it conscious, it is not acceptable.

"We have to do a lot of things for the black people which we have not done so far."
