Guardiola's Brilliant Response To Nigerian Critics For Not Winning UCL Without Messi & Co
Published: February 20, 2019Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola faced the cameras ahead of his side's Champions League last sixteen tie with Schalke 04 and was asked an embarrassing question by German-based Nigerian journalist Oma Akatugba.
Akatugba noted that Guardiola is extremely popular in Nigeria and his supporters have argued that he's the greatest coach in the world at the moment.
Responding to his Nigerian critics, Guardiola said : ''I completely agree with them. When I was there I said many times I won with incredible players but I had in Munich and Manchester as well.
''But in Barcelona, I was a lucky guy I'm sorry. I was lucky and I agree with them''.
''But in Barcelona, I was a lucky guy I'm sorry. I was lucky and I agree with them''.
Bayern Munich lost in the UCL semifinals to Spanish teams Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético Madrid in 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively with Guardiola in the dugout.
In 2017, Guardiola's City were knocked out in the last sixteen by Monaco and lost to Liverpool in the quarterfinals last year.
