The one who won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2011, 11 years later, Pep Guardiola has not won the Champions League. Guardiola, who has twice won the European Championship title in the first three years of his coaching career, then spent three seasons at Bayern Munich, moving to Manchester City for six years … but one failure after another. Man City is no longer waiting!

Although Abu Dhabi has been in the spotlight in England since 2006, Man City is hungry for this one title. There must be a frustration with Guardiola for not ending the wait for so many years. In that case, Guardiola’s words may add to the frustration of City supporters. City’s dream journey to the Champions League semi-finals has come to a halt with Real Madrid being the latest victim of an incredible comeback.
Guardiola City lost to Chelsea in the final last season, but this time City were 16 minutes ahead of 180 minutes in the two legs of the semi-final against Real Madrid. But in the 90th minute of the second leg and after showing a glimpse, Real is in the final, leaving City unconscious. It is easy to imagine the frustration of the city at the moment as it has to come back again and again despite being so close. After the second leg of the semi-final the day before yesterday, many frustrated supporters of the city have also applied for the dismissal of Guardiola!
In six years at City, Guardiola has spent more than 100 billion euros on players, in exchange for which success is only in England. City, running for the fourth league title in six years under him, has won the League Cup and FA Cup several times. But the city is not paying attention to it. They want the Champions League! I want to get up in the ranks of the aristocracy of Europe to get rid of the infamous oil!
Guardiola himself is disappointed that he has not been able to bring it in six years. In a press conference yesterday, the Spanish coach said that although the Abu Dhabi group did not buy the club just for the Champions League, they also expressed their frustration.
“It seems to me that when the people of Abu Dhabi bought this club, they did not buy it just for the Champions League. Bought every season to see if the club can fight until the very end of all tournaments. They never told me to win a specific title. We also want to win the Champions League. Maybe I’m not a good coach to bring this team! However, no one will be able to say what would have happened if there was another coach here or another player ‘- Guardiola said in a press conference yesterday.
