He City of Manchester earned a pass to the long-awaited final of the Champions League, after defeating the real Madrid (4-0). In this way, Guardiola He continues to extend his legacy, as the coach who left the white colossus in the ditch the most times in Europe’s top competition, three times in total.
The ‘skyblues’ did not give any choice to the team led by Carlo Ancelottiwho had to settle for a result that might have been greater if not for the interventions of Courtois, MVP of combined merengue. The fans of the ‘citizen’ team burst into euphoria with every goal from their team, who will face Inter Milan in the great European event on June 10 in Istanbul.
Guardiola, habitual butcher of meringues
Once again, Pep crossed Madrid’s path to the Champions League, as has happened in recent seasons. It is true that last year the Italian coach won the game against the former Barça player, with a brilliant comeback in the second leg played in Bernabeu (3-1). However, Guardiola made himself admirable at the Manchester Coliseum, as the man in charge of a total football function reminiscent of previous seasons in the Barça team.
The first time the manager of the British team managed to eliminate Real Madrid from the Champions League was in the 2010/2011 season, when he was still managing the FC Barcelona. A recital at the Merengue Coliseum with a stellar Messi left the tie almost sentenced to a final 0-2. The rivalry that took place at the Camp Nou ended in a 1-1 that put the culé team in the final of Wembley against United, who would eventually win.
It was a few years before Pep returned to being the kryptonite of the whites in the Champions League, until the 2019/2020 academic year. The City of Catalan coach faces Madrid for the first time and has no consideration for leaving the round of 16 tie on the fast track, with a victory at the Merengue fort (1-2) and another at the ‘Citizen’ (2 – 1).
In this campaign Guardiola He has a chance to continue extending his European record, what would be his third orejona in a record height of very few technicians. In addition, the former culé coach can make history next Sunday if he wins against Chelseawho won his fifth Premier League in six years in charge.
