Pep Guardiola has insisted that his Manchester City stars never meant to offend anyone after they were filmed singing a distasteful version of Liverpool's 'Allez, Allez, Allez' chant.

The Spaniard's team was heavily criticised after a video was shared on social media of the group flying back to Manchester from their final game against Brighton on Sunday evening.

In the video, Ilkay Gundogan, Kyle Walker and Vincent Kompany were among the City players who were seen passing around the Premier League trophy as they celebrate beating Liverpool to the league title, while chanting to the tune of the famous Kop song can be heard in the background.

CHANT LYRICS 

All the way to Kiev, 

To end up in defeat, 

Crying in the stands, 

And battered on the streets,

Kompany injured Salah, 

Victims of it all, 

Sterling won the double, 

The Scousers won f*** all,
