Magath has criticized Guardiola’s tactics, according to him, during the time in Barcelona he triumphed because of the best of all time, Messi.
In Barcelona with Messi in the team Guardiola has won two Champions Leagues, without Leo for many years at Bayern Munich and Manchester City, Pep has not managed to leave a mark in the Champions League, this gives the right to the former Bayern, Felix Magath, to criticize the Spanish tactics.
“Messi won the titles, not Guardiola,” he told Sport Bild.
“Without Messi, this system has never worked, otherwise he would have won the Champions League long ago with Bayern Munich and Manchester City.”
For seven consecutive seasons Guardiola has failed to do anything in the Champions League, including three years in England with City, although for three seasons he has spent millions and millions and in such a short time (3 years) has bought over 30 players.
