Pep Guardiola has never had 13 defeats in his coaching career for a season, in the midst of 2024/2025, he is already on his worst coaching performance ever!

They lost both matches to Real Madrid in the battle for the Champions League round of 3 (2:3, then 1:XNUMX).

"We have time to think about rebuilding the team. It's easy to draw such conclusions now. It was hard to bear the home defeat (2:3). Real Madrid are very good and we knew that. In time, we will accept things as they are," Pep stressed and added:

"Nothing lasts forever. Manchester City was an extraordinary team, but it's not anymore. Now we will focus on the Premier League, even though we know we won't win the championship... And we will see what happens in the FA Cup," Guardiola stressed.

His team has never played worse than last night at the Bernabeu, and the experiments with Savinjo playing a "false nine" instead of a winger for the first time in his career and new signing Husainov playing as a "fullback" were fatal in the first half.

Guardiola was without a classic striker for the first time on the City bench, although Erling Haaland was not fully fit due to a minor injury against Newcastle.
