Man City boss Pep Guardiola criticised for 'irresponsible' comments by climate activists

City will return by coach after failing to secure a flight back home

: “Sports teams and athletes are role models to millions, and they shouldn’t be modelling such irresponsible, high carbon behaviour as flying from one city to another in a small country.

“We’re in a climate crisis and sport is under threat. We already have to choose certain host countries and times of year to avoid extreme heat at tournaments. We’ve also seen winter sports threatened by a lack of snow and unseasonal weather. “Professional sport should be at the frontline of climate action, not fuelling the flames. There’s nothing wrong with taking a coach or a train. In fact, it’s what thousands of their young fans will want to see – real climate leadership from their club”

City’s trip to Newcastle kicks off a run of four away games for Guardiola’s side as they compete for silverware on all fronts.
