Pep Guardiola backed the officials after Borussia Dortmund had a goal controversially disallowed in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City.

England international Jude Bellingham was denied in the first half of the German side’s 2-1 defeat at the Etihad Stadium when Romanian referee Ovidiu Hategan ruled he had fouled Ederson. Replays suggested the decision was harsh.
