Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has revealed what he said to goalkeeper Stefan Ortega after their on-field exchange went viral.

On Tuesday night, City looked to continue their three-match winning run at the Gtech Community Stadium against Brentford, who have the second-best home record in the Premier League this season.

The visitors were 2-0 up heading into the final 10 minutes thanks to a brace from Phil Foden.

However, a late collapse allowed Brentford to come away with a valuable point, with Yoane Wissa and Christian Norgaard scoring to earn a 2-2 draw.

Immediately after the final whistle, Guardiola and Ortega went viral after the pair were involved in what looked like an animated conversation.

The City boss was visibly frustrated as he spoke to Ortega and looked like he shouted at his goalkeeper on several occasions. The conversation continued as they walked back towards the tunnel.

Aside from Ortega, Josko Gvardiol was also given an earful after the whistle sounded.

When asked about the pair during his post-match interview, Guardiola said: "How good he (Gvardiol) played. He played an incredible game. We talked about one action but it's the same with Ortega - I said how good he played, how good he passed to Erling, how satisfied I am with especially these two players."


Speaking about the match as a whole, Guardiola said: "The last minutes we didn’t manage well at 2-0 but after 2-1 we managed well, sometimes that happens.

"McAtee must shoot this action but imagine he doesn’t shoot and makes an extra pass and maybe the game would finish there but he has to shoot to score."

He added: "Savinho had an action to pass to Erling and he’s one against one. Today we didn’t take the right decision in the final third."

As a result of the draw, City remain in sixth place in the Premier League table, 12 points behind leaders Liverpool, who dropped two vital points against Nottingham Forest.

City are back in Premier League action this weekend when they take on Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Sunday afternoon.
