After what he had achieved at Barcelona and Bayern, any team would have given anything to have him and for his ‘magic’ to develop in them. That was just what was expected with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, who although he has not had a bad performance, has not lived up to expectations.
It has local titles, not international ones.
Since he arrived in 2016, he has already added 2 Premier League titles (consecutively), 1 FA Cup, 1 Community Shield and 3 English League Cups. There are 7 titles over 4 years, something that is not bad, but the real reason why they took it, has not been able to fulfill it.
The idea was that he would give them a Champions League championship, something that he has been far from achieving, since he has never been able to enter beyond the Quarterfinals. In all the years he has played the tournament, but he always fails before the semifinals.

This edition of the Champions League could be your last chance.
In their first tournament with City, they were second place in group C, facing Monaco in the round of 16 with a spectacular series that was tied at six points and that gave the French team the pass due to away goals. A year later, they were a favorite in Round of 16, but Liverpool ended up eliminating them.
In 2018, Guardiola and City dominated Schalke 04 in the round of 16, but history repeated itself again when they were eliminated in the next phase by Tottenham. In order not to lose the habit, in the last edition, they were favorites against Olympique Lyon and in the end they ended up falling by three goals to one.

In 2020 it may not have a margin of error.
Pep Guardiola’s era at Manchester City could come to an end if they fail to beat Borussia Monchengladbach in the round of 16, because although they have triumphed in the Premier League, they have not managed to bring or even bring them closer to the Champions League.
