Pep Guardiola's Champions League 'curse' as prized trophy again eludes Man City boss

Manchester City's exit from the Champions League means Pep Guardiola's drought in the competition continues with the Spaniard now going 11 years without winning the title.

The reigning Premier League champions crashed out of the tournament in the most dramatic of circumstances as Real Madrid scored two goals in stoppage time to force extra time, before Karim Benzema's penalty secured a 3-1 victory (6-5 on aggregate) to send Madrid through to the final against Liverpool.

Guardiola has won the Champions League with Barcelona on two occasions, once in 2009 and then again in 2011, but that is the last time he has held the trophy aloft as he's fired blanks with Bayern Munich and City.
