Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola gave a speech supporting Palestinian children at a charity concert in Barcelona on Thursday evening.

Guardiola spoke of his pain at seeing children suffering and called for action as he took to the stage at the Act x Palestine concert at the Palau Sant Jordi sports arena.
