Raheem Sterling celebrated his goal in England's win in Montenegro by tilting his ears towards the fans who had been racially abusing he and his team-matesAsked about his player's vocal anti-racism stance, Guardiola said: "When people like Raheem express what they express, it's good for our future society. "I think he's an important person in this country, and these kind of statements help us to make a different society. Guardiola believes racism is not just affecting football, however, and says he is concerned at what he sees as increasingly intolerant attitudes across Europe.
