Historic moments unfolded on Monday night in the streets of Manchester, where thousands of City fans they celebrated with the team treblealong with the three trophies (Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup) of his players’ dream career Pep Guardiola.
As part of the celebrations, the Spanish coach of the “citizens”, referred to importance it has for the labors of so many years winning the Champions League, making a valuation of this season.
Pep Guardiola’s statements in detail:
“This time the team was prepared not only to win but also to suffer. In previous Champions Leagues, where for example we lost to Chelsea or Real Madrid last year in the semi-finals or even this year, you always suffer. We are very happy but we could have equalized at the end. Inter could draw us and lose. And now we wouldn’t be doing this interview and everyone wouldn’t be so happy.
After all, sport at this high level is all about the details, right? It is true that the detail was the desire that we all had, not only the players, the whole club and all the people who spent years with this competition where it was always difficult for us to conquer it. But its conquest does not change us. It doesn’t change me, today we are very happy and satisfied, but I know that in the past doing the same thing we could have won and this year doing the same thing we could lose. This is what happens in this event. In the league, no.
The championship is 38 dates and there the best wins. But in the Champions League you have to be lucky or it’s… meant to be. It’s becoming more and more clear to me, don’t ask me why, but there are thousands of details in the year where you say “this is our turn”. And it was given to us.
I think the job is done. I don’t want to compare myself to Messi but there is an image of him at the World Cup that “this is it, this is it”. This Champions League gives meaning to the five Premier Leagues we have won. But it’s also true that we need to go home, unplug enough, and then plug back in.”
