Guardiola Downplays Arteta Rift Ahead of Carabao Cup Clash
Pep Guardiola has sought to dispel any notion of a serious rift with former colleague Mikel Arteta ahead of their Carabao Cup final clash. Despite some friction last season stemming from comments about tactics, Guardiola insists their relationship remains cordial.
The City manager also dismissed suggestions of ‘dark arts’ being employed by either team, and praised Arteta for the success he’s building at Arsenal.
