Pep Guardiola has insisted he is not haunted by Manchester City’s Champions League final defeat against Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea in 2021, before the quarter-final first leg on Tuesday against the German’s current team, Bayern Munich.
City lost the 2021 showpiece 1-0, a Chelsea triumph that was engineered by Tuchel with Kai Havertz’s breakaway goal proving the winner.
Yet Guardiola said on Monday that he was not troubled by the reverse for too long. “I was sad but I congratulated him and Chelsea for the victory.
It happened,” he said. “I reviewed the game a month later. It was not as bad as I thought but at the same time it was not at all a good enough performance to win it.
