Bayern Munich head coach Pep Guardiola and his assistants refused to shake hands with MLS coach Caleb Porter after Wednesday night's 2-1 loss in a friendly match against the MLS All-Stars.
Guardiola became angry during the second half of the game after a couple of hard tackles by MLS All-Stars Osvaldo Alonso and Will Johnson. Despite the players being given yellow cards, the rough play still left a bad taste in Guardiola's mouth.
At the end of the match, Guardiola and the Bayern Munich assistants waved off Porter when he approached them to shake hands. Instead, Guardiola confronted the officials to continue complaining about the rough play while ignoring Porter, who made one last attempt to get a handshake to no avail.
Afterwards, Guardiola denied that his refusal to shake hands with Porter was deliberate, saying during the postgame press conference "I didn't see him".
