Pep Guardiola and Manchester City made it through to the semi-final of the Champions League after beating Atletico Madrid on 1-0 aggregate.
Guardiola’s Manchester City defensive solidity and game smarts paid off to get them past Diego Simeone’s side.
Despite the grievances being loudly aired by both sides after the match, Simeone did then say that Manchester City deserved to go through.
This victory ensured that Pep Guardiola reaches his ninth Champions League semi-final, more than any other manager. In each of his four seasons with Barcelona he got to the final four, as was the case in his three years at Bayern Munich. Since, he has got there twice with Manchester City. Football espana said.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti joins him on eight after defeating Chelsea on Wednesday those two will contest a place in the final. The other manager to have reached eight semi-finals is Roma‘s Jose Mourinho, as noted by Mundo Deportivo.
