Pep Guardiola became a European champion for the third time as a coach.
The 2022-23 Champions League season was crowned with a victory by "Manchester City" in a 1-0 final against the "Inter" team in front of Milan.
However, P. Guardiola, speaking with "Mundo Deportivo", joked a little about the situation, saying that everything could have gone the other way. In recent seasons, the "Cityzens" lacked success in the Champions League, but this time everything turned in their favor.
"I am a European champion because one forward did not use the great opportunity to head the ball from a few meters away", - the Catalan referred to Lukaku's chance.
The "Manchester City" strategist also inspired his colleague Xavi, who triumphed in the Spanish league with "Barcelona" this season.
"Give Xavi some time. It took me eight years with 'Manchester City' to win the Champions League. And I just happened to become a European champion", Guardiola said.
