Guardiola was arguing with Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes on the pitch at the end of a fractious game and then reacted angrily to being filmed close up.

The incident wasn't caught on TV, but was picked up by photographers.

Guardiola said: "I apologised on the pitch.

"I feel embarrassed, ashamed when I see it. I don't like it. I apologised after one second to the cameraman. am I am. After 1,000 games, I'm not a perfect person, I make huge mistakes.

"It's not about that. I want to defend my team and my club. Because to win the league we have to do 100 points, 98 points, otherwise we don't. That's for sure."
