You can win one day, two, but being in a league like Libertadores which is so complicated, staying there for so long… They sell them players and they continue to be there. It recycles and continues”.
For his part, Gallardo was no less and returned Guardiola’s compliment: “It’s not me who contradicts anyone’s word, especially not a coach I admire a lot and who seems to me to be the best coach in the world. If he said City aren’t one of the best, he lied, ha. Speak well of him, who won’t say that his team is the one that plays better ”
