Premier League Pair talked after the game

The reasons why Guardiola didn't greet Fabregas

Man City's Aguero gets four-match ban for violent conduct

Ahead of Manchester City's Champions League tie against Celtic on Tuesday, Pep Guardiola says he didn't realise Cesc Fabregas tried to greet him on the pitch after his side's defeat to Chelsea on Saturday.

The coach went onto the pitch after the Chelsea game and footage of the post-match encounter seems to reveal the Catalan coach dodging a handshake with Fabregas.

"I said hello to Cesc in the dressing room," he said.

"On the field I didn't realise he was trying to greet me.

"I don't want to speak about the referee in the match either, it is best not too.

"We have to accept Aguero's absence and work with other players."

Asked about the team's performance, Guardiola was calm with his response.

"I am very happy with the way we played," he continued.

"Against Chelesa we played a lot better than the last two games at home against Crystal Palace and Burnley.

"We still need to improve and obviously it is a risk to play the way we want to, but it is the way I want to play. We need to play consistently well for more minutes."

With just three wins in his last eight league games, it is clear the former Barcelona coach is still adapting to the Premier League, but he says the buzz is infectious.

"I am enjoying the experience very much here," he enthused.

"When I win I'm happier than when I lose, of course, but I'm enjoying it.

"I was in Germany because I did well at Barcelona and I'm here because I did well at Bayern. But I still have to adapt."

Manchester City have secured Champions League qualification, but the Catalan says that finishing first in the group gives the team a better chance in the competition.
