Manchester City star Raheem Sterling has apologised after he was awarded a poor decisioned penalty in City's 6-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday.

Gabriel Jesus scored a hat-trick, while David Silva, Sterling and Riyad Mahrez all got on the scoresheet to send a strong message to rivals Manchester United.

However, Referee Victor Kassai pointed to the spot in the 24 minute with the belief that Sterling was fouled by Mykola Matviyenko but replays showed that the winger simply fell over his own feet.

But the England international has revealed he is sorry for what happened.

“I went to chip the ball and don't know what happened,” Sterling said.

“I didn't feel contact. I scuffed the ball. Apologies to the ref.

"It's one of those where I didn't want to look like I was looking for a foul I just put my head down and didn't want to say anything.

"It is what it is and apologises again."

Meanwhile, Coach Pep Guardiola said: “We realised it wasn't a penalty.

“After being asked if Sterling could have told the referee, Raheem could have told the referee.

“We don't like to score in that situation.

"You know VAR and what it is - the referee must be helped because they don't want to make mistakes.

"The game is so fast these days. It takes 10 seconds for somebody to say something to the referee.

"Would you tell a player to pass the ball to the keeper?

“A coach would never say that. But I'm young, I will learn."

You could have stopped the penalty by telling the referee it wasn't a foul that's the spirit of sportsmanship


Now you are apologising after the damage was done

I don't blame him for falling, I blame him for not telling the truth at first

True that and i'll personally put 75% of the blame at the feet of the ref ( pun intended ) , cos he was slow to run to the spot and even gave the pen when he was about 17 yards from the spot sterling tripped on himself , clearly a case of an official wanting to be conned or what happened to the rule of not giving it if you are not sure ? Martolux , yes , players do tell ref they are mistaken about wrong calls that favours that team , though it's rare

Lol
He
Did not answer the question

His ratting have dropped

There was a guy behind the goal post of shaktar claiming to be an assistant ref, he needs serious sacking...he was obviously absent minded, The penalty and officiating was one of the worst and most ridiculous in refereeing history.

Raheem would have gotten some plaudits and accolades if he had come clean immediately, but even the sham penalty had very little effect on the result of the match.

Whopping 6-0...City were clearly the better team.

lol

medicine after death

Now you are apologising after the damage was done

Don't mind him, he will suffer the consequences in the EPL..in the next few matches, it will be hard for refs to give him a penalty, even when it's valid

stupid.d apology not accepted

you should have told the ref that it wasn't a penalty

Rubbish!

Raheem the diver. He should consider swimming at the next olympics.

STORY MEDICINE AFTER DEATH, WHY DIDN'T HE TELL THE REF

The guy should have just complained to the referee at once, there is really no point for this apology cos he knew nobody tripped him and still went ahead to play the penalty

wizkidblogger:
lol

speak English

Case of too little too late, all he needed do was to insist on taking the penalty himself...and in return pass the ball gently to the goal keeper from the spot kick.

That would have set a new standard in fairplay and instantly catapulted him to a hero in the hearts and mind of the average sports lover.

Now I don't even know who to blame....the bleeping referee or the opportunistic short devil.

Something Neymar and Suarez are literally surviving on

Apology accepted

He should have told the referee he wasn't fouled in the spirit of sportsmanship.
