**Confederation of African Football's Decision Sparks Surprise and Concern** Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola expressed surprise and concern over the Confederation of African Football's (CAF) decision to strip Senegal of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title and award it to Morocco. This decision was made behind the scenes, leaving Guardiola and others in the dark about the reasoning behind it. During his pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday's Carabao Cup final against Arsenal, Guardiola shared his thoughts on the matter. "It's surprising, I don't know the reason, but it's a decision that was made behind the scenes," he said. The lack of transparency in decision-making is a concern for Guardiola, who believes it is not limited to football. "Decisions are now being made behind the scenes, and we don't see the faces of those who stand behind these decisions," he added. Guardiola emphasized that this opaque decision-making is not unique to football. "This is not new; it is what has been happening in football recently, and in the whole world as well," he told the Associated Press. He pointed to the chaos and lack of accountability that is prevalent in the world today. "Look at what's happening around the world. There's unbelievable chaos, and nobody is doing anything about it. Everything is happening behind the scenes. The world is on the verge of collapse, yet we are still here talking about hidden tricks," he said. Guardiola's comments come as Manchester City prepares to face Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final. The match is a chance for the team to move past their disappointment in the Champions League, where they were eliminated by Real Madrid with a 2-1 defeat at the Etihad Stadium and a 5-1 aggregate score.
