Champions League: “Attention, Real Madrid, we are coming to get you”, jokes Pep Guardiola

“Attention, Real Madrid, we are thirteen Champions Leagues behind you but we are coming to get you”, laughed Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola after the first C1 won by the English club on Saturday against Inter (1-0). The Spanish technician, in office since 2016, managed to bring the Cup with big ears to the Citizens in his second final in three years, after the one lost in 2021 against Chelsea. “We managed to win in Europe; in pain, but that's normal, he said in the post-match conference. Sometimes you need that chance that we haven't had in the past”.

The 52-year-old coach thanked the Emirati owners for keeping him going, despite repeated failures on the European stage. “Usually after failing to win the Champions League the coach is fired. How many clubs destroy their project like this...", declared the Catalan, applauded by journalists on his arrival in the press room. “It's a big relief for the club to have this trophy. But there are teams that win and then disappear, I don't want that to happen to us."

The technician passed by the benches of Barcelona and Bayern said he had “the feeling that the victory in the Champions League gives credit to the five titles won in the last six seasons in the Premier League”, in particular. "You have to win in Europe to be considered a really good team and we did that." Guardiola said he was "very touched" by a message received in the morning from Alex Ferguson, legendary coach of Manchester United, the neighbor and rival who achieved the treble (championship, national cup, Champions League) in 1999. The Spaniard joins the Scotsman in the history books and does even better than him, since on Saturday he became the first coach to have won the championship, the national cup and the Champions League in the same year times: he had already achieved such a feat with FC Barcelona in 2009.
