Pep Guardiola: I'll be judged a failure at Man City without Champions League win
Last updated on .From the section Man City

Pep Guardiola thinks he will be regarded as a failure at Manchester City if he does not win the Champions League.
The former Barcelona boss has won five major trophies since arriving at City in 2016, including Premier League titles in 2017-18 and 2018-19.
However, European success has so far eluded Guardiola.
"Last year was an extraordinary one for us but people say, 'But you didn't win the Champions League'," he said.
"That is why I will be judged, if we don't win it in my final period here, that I will be a failure here. I know that."
City have not made it beyond the quarter-finals of the Champions League under Guardiola and have been knocked out by Monaco, Liverpool and Tottenham in the last three seasons.
On Sunday, Guardiola's side face a trip to Spurs for the first time since last season's Champions League last-eight first leg defeat.

Mauricio Pochettino was in the Tottenham dugout that day but Guardiola will now face a Spurs side managed by his long-time rival Jose Mourinho.
Guardiola expects to face a team that have traits of both managers.
He added: "They are quite different but there are similarities. Their teams are both quite aggressive.
"I saw Tottenham at Southampton and they were alive. They conceded a last-minute goal but I saw a team that is there.
"Every manager has different ideas, both are incredible managers. Mauricio Pochettino was there five or six years while Mourinho has been there just months, so all managers need time to make our teams play the way we want."

He won't win the CL because his defence just isn't good enough.
So yes, he's a failure.
Very overrated manager.
Klopp has been to 3 European finals
Pep has produced 2 great years title wise, but did not take over a club 25 years from their last title. His starting point was further on from Klopp's a
Klopp over Pep any day
Sounds like you started watching football when Oil FC won a trophy for the first time in 50 years.
73 points from 75 is clearly down to luck.
He’s like the kid at school who’s dad bought him everything but dignity.
'Klopp has spent just over £400m'
Bit slow replying due to researching the figures.
You're right Klopp spending is £401.9m. But in his time player sales have been £327.4m.
So his net spending is £74.5m since 2015. Not a lot in 5yrs !
Pep appointed in 2016 his spending is £815.43m. His player sales have been £312.85m.
So his net spend is £502.58m in 4 years.
Get it now ?
Convenient that the one trophy City can't win is the one they don't care too much about, isn't it?
