Pochettino, who has played for and later managed Barcelona's city rivals Espanyol, said on Friday that Guardiola struggles to "be a gentleman" after a victory.
"What he said was disrespectful to many," the Argentine told a news conference. "It did not affect me but was very disrespectful for many people.
"He was part of the big success at Barcelona with Messi at his best and I never said it was 'the Lionel Messi team'."
Pochettino, whose team are third in the table and take on Bournemouth at Wembley on Saturday, said Guardiola had not yet apologised.
"Maybe after the press conference he calls me. I am sure I will reply... I know Pep and when he is excited after an amazing win, he struggles to keep his position and be a gentleman."
