REUTERS: When Pep Guardiola was lured to Manchester City in 2016 the club's Abu Dhabi owners did so convinced the Spaniard was the man to lead them to Champions League glory.
Guardiola set new standards of excellence when, in his second season at City, he took them to the Premier League crown last year in record-breaking fashion, with his side earning 100 points and scoring 106 goals to obliterate their rivals. However, while City still banged in 95 goals and produced displays of pure fantasy football, this title - Guardiola's eighth after three La Liga and three Bundesliga crowns with Barcelona and Bayern Munich respectively - was as much about sheer persistence and handling pressure.
On a day of destiny, and with Liverpool winning at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers, it could have spooked teams of lesser resolve. Instead City responded in ruthless fashion to snuff out Liverpool's hopes of a first title since 1990. "We don't have one player who makes the difference, we have to do it as a team. That is the secret. We push each other, I push myself, they push me."
