Guardiola was swift to point out the discrepancy, joking VAR was taking a break during the incident. “In the first half, the penalty? Ask the two referees around the corner. Then go to London to ask the VAR,” he said in a news conference. “Go to London, ask the big bosses. I’m not VAR. They make an example to Premier League managers, which I saw. But what can I say? “It was a penalty. Lamela goes over Rodri, and it was a penalty. Maybe in that moment, VAR was taking a coffee. “Why is it not handball with [Fernando] Llorente in the Champions League quarter-final last season, but why is it hands today? Why? “That is what needs to be clarified. Why is [Andreas] Christensen not hands, and the Wolves game is hands? “It’s a pity because it’s the last minutes. We lived through the Champions League and today it’s the last action and we scored a goal. But ask the VAR guys.” Jesus replaced Sergio Aguero, who appeared to argue with Guardiola as he left the pitch, but City’s boss shrugged off any suggestion of a serious dispute. “He believed that I was unhappy with him for the goal we conceded,” Guardiola said. “But it was just the fact that I wanted movement in that moment and Aguero could not do that. But it’s part of our game, it’s emotions and we talked after and talked during. I love him a lot.”
