Ahead of the much-anticipated Champions League clash, Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has praised Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel to the skies.
“He’s definitely one of the best coaches. He’s done a good job everywhere: in Germany, in Paris, in England. I’m very happy to see him again,” said Guardiola before the quarter-final first leg against Munich on Tuesday (21: 12:00 a.m./Amazon Prime Video).
The scintillating showdown at Etihad Stadium is the eleventh coaching duel between football strategists. With an overall negative balance, Tuchel celebrated the greatest triumph against Guardiola and City on May 29, 2021 in the premier class final with Chelsea.
“It happens. You lose games and you win games,” Guardiola replied when asked about the defeat, announcing: “We’re back to try again and the world will keep turning”.
