The draw for the quarterfinals of the Champions League provided very interesting crosses, especially the one that will face City of Manchester and Bayern Munich. Pep Guardiola will return to his home for the first time since he took charge of the ‘skyblue’ team.
In total, the Santpedor coach spent three seasons in the ranks of the Teutonic team (13/14, 15/16), where he won three bundesligatwo Germany cups and a Club World Cup. However, at Bayern, Guardiola was unable to achieve European glory, something he tirelessly pursued with the sky-blue team.
Since his arrival in city, the Catalan coach led the ‘cityzen’ team to the top at a national level, crowning the champion of the English Premier League up to four times. However, Guardiola’s pending topic continues to be the Championssomething the coach himself accepted with resignation after the match against Leipzig: “I don’t want to say that I agree with it, but I am sure that I will be judged by what I do in this competition.”
The high-voltage duel, which will face two of the heavyweights of Europe’s highest competition, will be a litmus test for the former coach of boat. In fact, the only time Pep faced Bayern in Champions League It was with the Catalan team, in the quarterfinals of the season 2008/2009. On that occasion, the culé team made it to the next round, in a season where Barcelona Pep Guardiola achieved a historic treble.
