Despite winning the first match of the UEFA Champions League 4-3 and leading 1-0 away in the second match, Manchester City was eliminated by losing 3-1 to Real Madrid, and coach Pep Guardiola was once again eliminated in the semi-finals.
Guardiola, who was eliminated in the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2010 and 2012 when he coached Barcelona, and in 2014, 2015 and 2016 when he coached Bayern Munich, experienced this for the 6th time this season.
Thus, Guardiola shared this bad statistical record that Mourinho had previously experienced.
The Spanish man also said after the match, “We were very close to lap, but when they brought the ball to the penalty area, we had a hard time. We didn’t have any problems until they scored, but we didn’t play our best football. We were close to finishing the match, but we couldn’t. There are such things in the history of football.” said.
