Pep Guardiola explains Man City making the Champions League final: 'This year the coin fell down on our side'
CBSN
Guardiola told CBS Sports ahead of the final that it took more than just attention to detail to reach this point.
For a brief moment Pep Guardiola has been able to quietly sit back and delight in what he, his players and Manchester City's staff have achieved. A season of unrelenting intensity has not quite reached its conclusion but the weeks between Manchester City's confirmation as Premier League champions and Saturday's Champions League final (on CBS and Paramount+) have at least offered Guardiola and those around him a moment to breath and appreciate what they have accomplished. Two trophies are already secured, the Premier League and EFL Cup, while this club's holy grail, the European Cup, is within touching distance. Chelsea stand in their way in Porto on Saturday. The football that has taken them there has, on occasion, been breathtaking. In the moment Guardiola can relish seeing his team in action -- "I'm a spectator as well just like you" -- but only now has he been able to truly appreciate what his side has achieved.More Related News
