Guardiola was first asked about the Leeds United game and how manager Daniel Farke accused goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma of faking an injury to gain an advantage. Guardiola declined to comment on the matter, saying he doesn't know what happened in the game and that he doesn't define a team's mentality by one win.

Guardiola also expressed his respect for Fulham boss Marco Silva, who recently reached 200 games in charge of the club. Guardiola noted that Silva's teams are always tough to play against, and that they are improving with the ball.

When asked about midfielder Rodri's injury status, Guardiola gave a brief update, saying "Not yet" when asked if Rodri is ready to return to the team.

Guardiola's press conference was brief, lasting only two minutes. He is normally quite open in his press conferences, but this time he kept his answers short and to the point.
