Chapter 629: Porto, Real Madrid, Bayern, The Winds of 2004

Manchester City's second retirement ceremony was held together with Manchester United.

Once again, the two giants of Manchester joined forces at Old Trafford Stadium to hold a retirement ceremony for Schmeichel.

The image of Schmeichel in a custom-made Manchester number one jersey, half red and half blue, became the only headline of the day in the football world.

Barcelona: ???

The spectacle was even grander than that of Guardiola.

After all, the stage was different.

Could his former club Barcelona even compare to Manchester United?

Barcelona: Isn't it because you at Manchester City are too embarrassed to co-brand with us?

It's worth mentioning that both Guardiola and Schmeichel, after retiring, will continue to work at Manchester City as assistant coaches.

Schmeichel will handle more of the training-related aspects.

While Guardiola will mainly be devoted to developing new tactics.

Deschamps will focus on the proficiency and teamwork of current tactics.
