The last months already auguraban that the Manchester City of Pep Guardiola had turned into a too irregular team like planting face to the "big "" of Europe, and the Monaco confirmed it this Wednesday when deleting, without being one of the best teams of the competition, to the "citizens" in the round of eighth of final of Champions League 2016-17.
The most facetious users of the social networks have not doubted in mofarse of the failure of the first year of an ambitious sportive project, the one of the Manchester City, that chains several summers spending more than 200 million euros to make staff that never finish to work to level of chemistry on the terrains of game.
Historical elimination of Pep Guardiola
In this occasion, Pep Guardiola has suffered besides a varapalo historical. Justo in which it was his split number 100 like trainer in Champions League, remained deleted sooner that never in the competition, since in the seven previous seasons always had reached like minimum the semifinals so much with FC Barcelona as with Bayern Munich.
But the Manchester City is not a club with so much history, and this Wednesday went back to remain showed that no only the notes serve to make a winning team. The tradition futbolística of FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich, two teams with players "of the house", will do them be again in quarter-finals and keep on being favourites to win the title.
