Pep Guardiola can't stop talking Tottenham and that Champions League game despite Man City win
It was back in 2019 when Tottenham made it to the Champions League final and nearly ended their trophy drought. Their road to the final, where they lost to Liverpool, was not an easy one and there was more than one moment where it looked as if Mauricio Pochettino's side would take an early exit out of the competition.
Two unlikely Man City stars have given Pep Guardiola a new selection dilemma
Two weeks ago you would have got pretty long odds on Gabriel Jesus and Oleks Zinchenko not only being starters for Manchester City against Real Madrid, but being key players in a thrilling Champions League semi-final win. And while the suspension of Joao Cancelo influenced the inclusion of Zinchenko, the fact is that both men made it very hard for Pep Guardiola to drop them for the second leg at the Bernabeu next week.

Pep Guardiola praises Man City duo Fernandinho and John Stones as injury worries are eased
Here are your Manchester City evening headlines for Wednesday, April 27.
For Pep Guardiola it’s the least wonderful time of the year
A luxury flat in Spinningfields, Manchester, the very small hours. The black polo neck is slung on the back of an ergonomically designed chair but Pep Guardiola is still pacing the room. Not even the soothing sounds of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds or that CD of whale music Marcelo Bielsa sent over after clearing out his Pudsey pied-à-terre are doing the job. The celebratory cigars remain in the humidor. Pep will sleep eventually, though fitfully, for a few minutes at a time. At the Etihad Academy on Wednesday morning he will need some of the rocket-fuel coffee Johan Cruyff used to swear by to get through the day, the warmdowns, the debriefs, the chalkboards, the ice baths, the stats. Not even Brandon the kitman’s chirpy b@nter and jock-strap party tricks can lift the spirits.
Barcelona | Diez años sin Guardiola: Pep sigue en la cima; el Barça, no
«Me he desgastado y me he vaciado», dijo Josep Guardiola Sala el 27 de abril de 2012. Cuatro temporadas después de aterrizar en el banquillo del primer equipo del Barça y convertirlo en el mejor equipo del mundo y uno de los mejores de la historia, cerró su ciclo. Para muchos, demasiado pronto. Para otros, en el momento exacto por el tremendo desgaste al que él mismo se sometió. Exigente hasta niveles casi obsesivos, Guardiola ganó 14 títulos con el Barça: dos Champions, tres Ligas, dos Mundiales de Clubes, dos Supercopas de Europa, dos Copas del Rey y tres Supercopas de España. Pero su Barça fue mucho más que trofeos.
