UEFA Champions League Quarterfinal; Man City vs Barcelona [2]

FWEEEE!

The whistle cut through the stadium like a blade, and then, it started.

The war at the Etihad.

2 of the most in-form teams in the UEFA Champions League this season clashed in a highly-anticipated game, a game that promised excitement, action, and drama. A game where the star players took the stage as well as their coaches did.

Yes, tonight, it was not just a clash between the players of both teams, a lot of it was also focused on the 2 coaches.

The reason for the focus on Hansi Flick was self-explanatory. Last season, he led Barca's resurgence at the top of European football and this season, with the addition of Sam, the German coach was forging an all-time great season with the Catalan club.

As for Pep Guardiola? It was simple, the coach was Catalan.

He was born and bred in Barcelona.
