One of the biggest rivals of Madrid's "Real" team, Pep Guardiola, did not hide the fact that the achievement of the "Whites" in the Champions League is exceptional, but also did not miss the opportunity to praise his former team.
"Real" continued their historic journey in Europe last Saturday. The "Whites" defeated "Liverpool" 3-1 and became the winners of this tournament for the third year in a row. No club has managed to win this trophy twice in a row in the Champions League.
"It's something special, you have to take your hat off to them. Zidane is doing a great job," Guardiola said at a charity event organized by Johan Cruyff.
"It doesn't matter if they deserved the title or not, but to do it three times in a row is very difficult. They showed their level, we can only hope to break their dominance next season," the coach continued.
Then Guardiola said a few words about "Barcelona": "They had a great season. If they continue to play as always, the era of this team will not end even when Xavi and Iniesta leave.
"Barca" remains the best team in the world. I don't think they will ever lose their playing identity," concluded the "Man City" manager.
