Under-pressure Guardiola loses cool

Pep Guardiola launched an astonishing foul-mouthed attack on a journalist as the Barcelona manager did nothing to dampen speculation that he and his side are vulnerable going into tonight’s Champions League semi-final against Chelsea.

The Nou Camp boss is under pressure after his side lost the first leg 1-0 at Stamford Bridge before relinquishing their La Liga title by losing 2-1 at home to Real Madrid in Saturday’s El Classico.

And Guardiola was furious at criticism of 20-year-old winger Cristian Tello, who missed a series of chances in that game.
