The Portuguese footballer and the Catalan coach will face each other for the 17th time in the Manchester derby with a winning balance favorable to the second (8 vs 4) and four tables on the scoreboard.
Pep Guardiola and Cristiano Ronaldo have met 16 times since the former began his way on the bench at FC Barcelona in 2008. There has been a clash between Catalans and Manchester United, 13 Classics and two contests between Bayern München and Real Madrid. On this day it will be the first time that faces are seen with Santpedor’s at Manchester City. On the occasion of this “reunion”, we see some important confrontations between them:
