The Spanish coach took out the thorn and raised the orejona for the first time since his departure from Barcelona. Manchester City is the champion of the Champions League 2023.

He did not play his best game and suffered too much but it is a more than fair prize for his coach. Nobody in recent times has given so much to football: the Catalan coach takes the sport to maximum levels of beauty and efficiency. He is a permanent revolutionary in a continuous state of alert. There is nothing left to chance in Guardiola.
