Coach Josep Guardiola led his team to the semi-finals of the Champions League for the ninth time
Manchester City head coach Josep Guardiola has set a Champions League record. This is reported by the correspondent of “Lenta.ru”.
The Spanish specialist led his team to the semi-finals of the tournament for the ninth time. He has done it four times with Catalan Barcelona, three times with Bayern Munich, twice with Manchester City, which he has been coaching since 2016. Guardiola outperformed Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti, who had led their teams to the semi-finals eight times. Under his leadership, Barcelona won two titles in 2009 and 2011.
Earlier on April 13, City played a 0-0 draw with Atlético Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. This result allowed the “citizens” to reach the semi-finals of the tournament following the results of a two-legged confrontation. In the first match, City achieved a victory with a minimum score. The goal scored in that meeting was marked by the Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne.
The Champions League final will take place on May 28. Initially, St. Petersburg was supposed to host the decisive match, but against the backdrop of the situation in Ukraine, UEFA decided to transfer the meeting to the Stade de France stadium in Paris.
The current holders of the Champions League Cup are London’s Chelsea, who flew out in the current draw after losing to Real Madrid in the quarter-finals. In the decisive match in 2021, the team beat Manchester City.
