The gaffer said “it is not sport, if it doesn’t matter if you lose”, according to a report by Mail Online.

Guardiola’s City were one of six English teams confirmed on Sunday night to have signed up to the proposal for a breakaway league along.

Other teams are Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus.

“It’s not a sport when the relation between effort and reward doesn’t exist,’ Guardiola said.

“I want a competition that is as strong as possible. It’s not fair if one team fights, fights, fights to be at the top and they don’t qualify. This is what I feel.’

In a direct question to Lopez, Guardiola said: ”This situation of the Super League has to be clarified”.

“I would love the president (Florentino Perez) and this committee to go out around the world and say what is the reason why they took this decision.”
