Pep Guardiola held a bizarre pre-match press conference that lasted just 135 seconds.

Manchester City returned to the win column on Saturday following back-to-back defeats to Newcastle United and Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.

The Blues beat Leeds United 3-2 at the Etihad, with Phil Foden scoring a stoppage time winner after the hosts squandered a two-goal lead.

Ahead of taking on Marco Silva's team, Guardiola fielded questions from the media on Monday.

But the Spaniard appeared to be in no mood to speak as his presser lasted just over two minutes.

He needed just 70 seconds to answer seven questions put to him in what must be one of the shortest press conferences the club has ever held.

According to journalist Simon Bajkowski, Guardiola was 'slightly chattier' in the embargo part of the presser, 'but not much'.

Sky Sports reporter Ben Ransom called the 54-year-old's presser 'remarkable'.

What did Pep Guardiola say in his presser?

Guardiola was asked a series of questions in his presser, including Man City's dramatic victory over Leeds, his side's mentality and the threat of Fulham.

On if Man City would've beaten Leeds in the same manner last season: "I don't know, I'm not able to know what would happen. I don't know, to be honest."

On if Man City's mentality has changed: "Because we won? It all depends if Phil [Foden] puts the ball in the net. I don't know if you can define mentality off one win. I don't believe in these kind of things."

On if it is a concern Gianluigi Donnarumma picked up a fourth yellow card of the season against Leeds: "I have a lot, I have many [concerns]. It's what it is."

On if he has spoken to Donnarumma: "No."

On Fulham: "Marco [Silva] is many, many years there. Always have been really tough games. Difficult. Their organisation is exceptional. Every year, I have a feeling that with the ball they are better and even better. Tough, tough opponent. I saw their games these days, yesterday and today - against Chelsea, against Arsenal, last games against Sunderland

"It's always so difficult for the opponent to break up. [It] always have been in this beautiful stadium in London."

On Rodri and if he is fit to play: "Not yet."

On if Rodri will be ready by Saturday's game against Sunderland: "I don't know."
