Pep Guardiola will go down as one of the greatest managers ever but he hasn’t lifted Europe’s elite trophy for more than 10 years.
His quest for Champions League glory with Manchester City continues after Wednesday’s dramatic extra-time loss to Real Madrid. Guardiola has often been accused of overthinking during the biggest moments in the competition.
He opted against playing a defensive midfielder for the first time all season in last year’s final loss to Chelsea, a decision that drew plenty of criticism. Now, a former City player has doubled down on these suggestions, claiming that the Catalan coach tried to do too much in the loss to Madrid.
