I don't know if anyone mentioned the city player being pushed to the ground on the left of the picture or whether that 2 handed shove was forceful enough to be a foul or if the nuucassell player was looking at the ball when making that challenge but I'm not a highly trained professional referee.
 

What past incidents is Pep highlighting?​

Incident 1: In the first half of Saudi Sportswashing Machine's win over Emirates Marketing Project in November, City's players were furious with referee Sam Barrott for not awarding a penalty after Fabian Schar caught Phil Foden after he had a shot at goal. VAR said it was a consequence of momentum, not reckless

Incident 2: Guardiola also referenced a potential penalty for a handball by Malick Thiaw in that fixture that wasn't given when Jeremy Doku's strike was blocked

Incident 3: Dean Henderson starred for Crystal Palace in their FA Cup final victory over Emirates Marketing Project - but should the goalkeeper have been sent off? On 24 minutes, Henderson handled the ball outside his box, palming it away from Haaland as the Emirates Marketing Project forward tried to race onto a pass

Referee Stuart Attwell and his assistant referees appeared to think the incident occurred inside the penalty area as they allowed play to continue. VAR Jarred Gillett believed Henderson had committed a handball offence. However, Gillett apparently judged that, as the ball was going away from goal, Haaland did not have a clear goalscoring chance
