Pep Guardiola has described Raheem Sterling's decision to distribute 550 tickets for Manchester City's FA Cup semi-final with Brighton to his old school as 'an incredible gesture'.
Sterling, who grew up close to Wembley Stadium, paid for all the tickets and arranged transport for the students from Ark Elvin Academy to watch Saturday's match.
'It's an incredible gesture,' Guardiola said. 'It makes society better for everyone. They're human beings and these kind of gestures shows who he is. I like it.'
