One of the great managers of his generation but that is some absolute rank average in-game management from Guardiola there. Terrible subs. Played right into Madrid's hands instead of letting the game flow. Just shows it happens to the best...

Hard to take for City but Madrid never give up. Can City pull themselves together and at least ensure they hold off Liverpool in the league, I hope so. As for the final Liverpool are favourites but never write Madrid off.

Is he a great manager though? He has only worked with top players in all the clubs he has managed.

I fucking hate Madrid. An appalling club with even worse fans. Remember when they Boo’d Ronaldo. City bottled it but that ref should be asked a few questions.
Madrid in a CL final is hardly going to be easy. They've won their league as well, so can pretty much rest most of their main players until the final as well. Liverpool have 5 big games to get through first.

And an open cheque book.
To be fair you could say that about a lot of "elite" level managers in the modern era. How many average clubs or players have the likes of Ancelotti and Zidane managed? Most top managers have now perhaps got a maximum of 1 non-big club on the CV and the rest are at the top table with top players and top budgets.
What Guardiola achieved at Barcelona in honours, style and culture was other worldly.

Exactly, the summer before covid Madrid spent 300m on players.

I'd put them all in the same bracket. I just think its hard to quantify how much impact a manager has, even more so with these top players and big budgets.

Still can't believe City threw that away though. That clearance off the line by Mendy at 1-0 saved Madrid in the end.
They didn't take them and let Madrid stay in the tie, which was always going to end up one way.
Indeed it's extraordinary how the traditional European powers keep winning whereas City and PSG fail
Hala Madrid
”these guys man” Fuck off you clown.
Real Madrid 13/8
Would've guessed 10/11 both sides if City were in the final...

they can win it forever as long as the scum don't go up
Liverpool walk the final
Might jump off a building
