Pep Guardiola’s Champions League Failure Cannot be Separated from His Past with Barcelona

DBasia.news –  Manchester City’s ambition to win the Champions League title must be postponed this season. City lost in the quarter-finals by Tottenham Hotspur.

Dutch legend, Ruud Gullit, tries to be the reason that Pep Guardiola has always failed in the Champions League since leaving Barcelona.

While with Barcelona, ​​Guardiola was able to become champions in club competitions on the Blue Continent in 2008/09 and 2010/11.

After that, Guardiola’s golden touch faded. He never again lifted the Champions League trophy. Guardiola has always failed despite managing a tough club inhabited by many stars, Bayern Munich and Manchester City.

Gullit found an answer. He considered the main reason behind Guardiola’s failure in the Champions League was Lionel Messi.

“That’s because he no longer has Messi. That makes a big difference, “he told Bein Sports.

“He tried to do it with Bayern. He almost got it, but he couldn’t. “

“Winning the Bundesliga is no longer an achievement because they win it almost every year,” Gullit said.

“I know Pep, this is what he wants. He wants the Champions League. “
