Hits and misses in the Champions League final: was Pep Guardiola overanalyzing the situation when Man City lost to Chelsea?
Following Man City’s 1-0 Champions League final loss to Chelsea, Pep Guardiola is frequently accused of overanalyzing the situation, while Thomas Tuchel makes all the correct decisions and Reece James transforms the conversation around right back in England.

Once more, did Guardiola overthink it?
Pep Guardiola failed to win a third championship.
It’s become common knowledge that Pep Guardiola overthinks the biggest games, but in light of this most recent setback, is it really possible to avoid it? The Manchester City manager surprised everyone once more despite being the favorite going into the Champions League final.

Changes are unavoidable. This was more basic.

Guardiola had only chosen to start without Rodri or Fernandinho once in 60 games during the previous campaign, and that was against Olympiakos at home more than six months ago. He said, “Our strategy is to attack,” prior to kickoff. Hardly a shot was left for Edouard Mendy to save.

The Premier League’s top scorer for City this year, Ilkay Gundogan, was made to play a holding role. It was unsuccessful. The risks were evident from the start, and the team lacked the control that had been such a hallmark of their turnaround during the winter.

Guardiola is rumored to have privately referred to Bayern Munich’s 2014 semi-final loss to Real Madrid as his greatest tactical error. He made two changes to the starting lineup for that match before the second leg, which Bayern would ultimately lose 4-0 at home.

The incidents at Manchester City are now a part of the club’s legend. The ignorance versus Monaco, the mayhem versus Liverpool, and the prudence exhibited against Tottenham when Kevin De Bruyne was benched. Last summer, he started Fernandinho and Rodri against Lyon.

Maybe playing neither was the best course of action this time around.

Pep Guardiola maintains that he chose the Manchester City squad he believed had the best chance of defeating Chelsea in the Champions League final.
The list now includes Chelsea in Porto; the loss was not entirely self-inflicted, but Guardiola was undoubtedly viewed as an accomplice. Would it have been wiser to choose a holding midfield specialist over Raheem Sterling and put more faith in the system that has worked so well for them?

If Guardiola had done so, he would not have been held accountable, but that is not the character of the most renowned coach of his generation. It is his duty and his obligation to change things. That was his attempt. Thomas Tuchel had his number for the third time in the last six weeks.

Guardiola hasn’t won the biggest club match in European football in ten years and one day. At Wembley that evening, Barcelona gave an incredible performance that is rightfully considered to be among the best any team has ever put on.

The Guardiola method continues to be effective, producing some of the best football available, and he has the championships to show it. However, the biggest games have defied his will for the past ten years. Now the overthinker can spend a summer thinking about it.

Sadness for Aguero and De Bruyne
Phil Foden comforts Sergio Aguero in Porto
The tears came easily.

After his teammates had collected their runners-up medals and left the Estadio do Dragao, Sergio Aguero was the only player still standing, having broken down at the final whistle. Chelsea’s supporters had continued to celebrate with them while he watched from the tunnel.

A week ago, he scored twice against Everton to cap off his Premier League career in style. However, Pep Guardiola decided to start a team without a pivot and with a false number nine. All night, City managed to muster just one shot on goal, demonstrating the failure of the system.

As a matter of fact, after Kai Havertz’s goal in the 42nd minute, neither Chelsea nor City were able to get a single shot on goal the remainder of the game. When his team most needed him, Aguero was given 20 minutes, including the seven stoppages, to deliver one last outstanding performance.
