Gunners defender Gabriel stated it is a 'war' after the game following his incident with Erling Haaland just after the equaliser, with Guardiola now echoing those remarks.
"You want a war? Now we war. Gabriel said it perfectly in the press after the match, so this is a war," Guardiola said, as per Goal.
"We have to provoke the opponent, to push them, and at the end, what can you do? You provoke me, OK, I'm there."
Guardiola also responded to Mikel Arteta's remarks about how things work at City when quizzed about 'Dark Art' tactics/
"Next time, Mikel has to be more clear," he said.
"He has to be more clear exactly: what does it mean? He said he was here for four years and We know exactly what happened here.'
"Because it can be related in all the process now with 155 [130] charges; maybe it's about that.
"He knows information about that maybe … I don't know, because really, next time, I have to see more clearly exactly what happened."
