Even with Pep Guardiola being one of the best managers of all time, he seems to downplay his team’s chances at times. He often praises opponents in press conferences to shift the tag of favourites to the other side, as seen before Manchester City’s match against Real Madrid. This has sparked discussions and criticisms, with many claiming Guardiola is actually afraid of the Spanish giants, including comments from former Real Madrid player Guti and pundit Inaki Cano. El Chiringuito has been creating a tense atmosphere ahead of the Champions League clash.
