Pep Guardiola says Champions League success doesn’t come easily
The Champions League is the one trophy that has been out of reach for Manchester City during a decade of dominance in England.
As such, it has felt like an increasingly thorny subject for Guardiola, who has cut a frustrated and defensive figure when asked to explain his team’s inability to transfer domestic dominance to European competition. “How many Masters has Jack Nicklaus played or majors has he played in his career, in 30-40 years as a golfer? Eighteen [major] wins. Wow. He loses more than he wins. That is sport. In football, in golf, in basketball.
Since then he has coached Bayern and City teams that have been stacked with talent, yet only reached one more final. Tuchel is now in charge of Bayern and his reunion with Guardiola is a fascinating subplot as the man who denied the Catalan his best chance of a third Champions League title. “I understand,” he said. “We tried last season, the season before. We tried three seasons ago. Every single season, but there are teams that you face that are also good and they want to win.”
