Pep Guardiola: Real Madrid must not be silent. I’m 13 trophies short”

Fortunately, at the end of the match in Istanbul, the City coach also made a joke. Guardiola once again mentioned the main rival of his career, “Real”, a team that undoubtedly leads the hierarchy of “ears”, defeated by time.

“I feel fulfilled, I have done my job. We have nothing more to win and now Real Madrid cannot rest: they have 13 trophies.

It’s been so long since other Champions League wins that I don’t even remember. Barcelona is Barcelona for me, but I’m also very good here.

Now I am calm, satisfied. It was a difficult victory. You also need a lot of luck. We must congratulate the players of “Inter” for the great match they played.

This contest is similar to a coin toss. We need luck, Inter could match us” – Pep Guardiolaquoted by Mundo Deportivo.
