Barely an hour had passed since Manchester City had just won the Champions League and Pep Guardiola was reminding interviewers of a familiar bugbear.
"I don't have any energy to think about next season, it's impossible," he said on the Ataturk Stadium pitch. "We need a break, it's too long."
When he arrived for his post-match press conference shortly after, Guardiola was issuing a similar complaint to FIFA and UEFA, saying: "Our players have international games now. UEFA and FIFA, think about it. The Premier League finished two or three weeks ago, but now people have to come back. It's too much."
