Career in Pictures: Pep Guardiola at Manchester City

Champions League Misery

After a surprise defeat by a then in-form Monaco in the last-16 in 2017, many tipped Guardiola to take City to Europe’s top trophy last term.

However, his side were drawn against an inspired Liverpool, who had inflicted a first Premier League defat on the Cityzens in January, in the quarter-finals.

After a 3-0 defeat against Jurgen Klopp’s side at Anfield, Pep had it all to do to get his team to turn it around in the second-leg.

Things looked promising when Gabriel Jesus netted in the second minute but, following a few close refereeing calls, City and their boss, who was sent off at half-time, lost their way.

As Guardiola watched from the stands, Liverpool turned things around in the second half with two goals to leaving him without a Champions League winners’ medal since 2011.
