“He deserves it. Kyle Walker deserves a three-match ban. If one player does this stupid thing, he deserves a three-game ban. I’m sorry. I’m not so kind to Kyle with this kind of action. Still, I’m so angry with him. So angry! No no, he knows. There’s nothing to discuss about that,” he said.

Guardiola went on to say how important the defender has been for Manchester City, especially in the Manchester derby. Walker’s red card came near the end of the match when City were already cruising to victory. The club appealed the ban, but Guardiola revealed that he did not agree with the decision to do so.
He brought up the fact that the ban was similar for two other instances, and he hoped that Walker would learn from this in the future.
“He’s so important, Kyle Walker for us. You see the game he played against United? But Leipzig, qualified already, 75-80 minutes and made this kind of action. So he deserves the three games. The club appealed, but I did not agree. Hopefully, he’ll learn in the future,” Guardiola concluded.
