Chelsea&#8217;s head coach, Mauricio Pochettino, failed to shake hands with Manchester City&#8217;s Pep Guardiola.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Despite the intense emotions during and after the game, Guardiola displayed no hard feelings towards Pochettino for the handshake snub.
