Winner of the Champions League for the first time in its history, Manchester City has finally achieved the goal set by the club for more than a decade. Pep Guardiola now has new goals.
Thanks to a goal from Rodri, Manchester City finally won this Champions League which had been fleeing the Citizens for so many years. Also champions of England and winners of the FA Cup, the Skyblues have had an incredible season, thanks in particular to a Monstrous Erling Haaland, author of 52 goals this season including 12 in C1. And this even if the Cyborg was ghostly in the semi-final against Madrid, but also against Inter. Pep Guardiola, for his part, lifts his third cup with big ears after the 2009 and 2011 editions, won with FC Barcelona. Although Manchester City remain far from the undisputed champions in Europe, Real Madrid, the Spanish coach still hopes to catch up with the Merengues. In a press conference, after celebrating this historic victory, Guardiola joked about the idea of returning to equality with Real Madrid in the number of Champions League won.

“Watch out Real Madrid, we are thirteen Champions Leagues behind you now, but we are coming to get you. It is a great relief for the club to have won this trophy. But there are teams that win and then disappear, I don’t want that to happen to us.” declared the Spanish coach who sends a strong message to Europe. Apart from this joke, Guardiola sincerely hopes to be able to retain his European title next season and continue to win Champions Leagues with Manchester City. The 52-year-old coach is now a fervent supporter of the Citizens and will do his utmost to establish the English team as a monument to European football. Manchester City will be expected at the turn next season. Guardiola knows it very well and obviously he loves it.
