After Manchester City’s victory in the Champions League final against Inter Milan this Saturday (1-0), Pep Guardiola wanted to salute legend Sir Alex Ferguson, who had a thought for his counterpart before this big meeting. -YOU.
Pep Guardiola enters a little more in the history of football. Winner of the Champions League with Manchester City against Inter Milan this Saturday (1-0), the 52-year-old technician won his third Cup with big ears, twelve years after the last gleaned with Barça. The former coach of the Catalan club became the first coach to achieve the hat-trick on several occasions (2009, 2023), the first also for an English team since 1999 and Manchester United of Sir Alex Ferguson.
The legend of the Red Devils also had a thought for his counterpart before this big meeting. “It’s an honor for me to stand alongside Sir Alex Ferguson in this situation. I have to say that I received a message from him this (Saturday) morning on my phone which really touched me. So it’s an honor for me to be with him in this place. He’s so nice,” said Pep Guardiola at a press conference.

Guardiola teasing at press conference
Visibly very moved and tired after the victory of the Citizens in Istanbul, Pep Guardiola has not lost his sense of the formula. “Attention Real Madrid, we are thirteen Champions Leagues behind you but we are coming to get you, he laughed in front of the journalists, before coming to his senses. We managed to win in Europe: in pain, but it is normal.Sometimes you need that chance we haven’t had in the past […] It’s a great relief for the club to have this trophy. But there are teams that win and then disappear, I don’t want that to happen to us.”
