Lothar Matthaus has launched a scathing attack on Pep Guardiola by insisting that he stole the Champions League trophy from Manchester City because of his team selection for the final.
Leading the way with his criticism is Bayern Munich and Germany great Matthaus, who has savaged Guardiola’s team choices as ‘inexplicable and unforgiveable’ and even claimed his time at City may now be over.
In his column for Sky, Matthaus wrote: ‘He stole the Champions League from the club and the fans through his line-up and he has to rightly hear the harsh criticism from all sides now.’
He then went on to add: ‘I am sure that there will be internal discussions about whether to part with him. The players will doubt him since that final.
‘He had to try something again, present an imaginary ingenuity at the worst possible moment, and totally deserved to lose.’
‘Some of the players on the field didn’t even know where they were going because he placed them in positions that were unfamiliar to them,’ Matthaus added.
‘That’s the worst thing a coach can do. Inexplicable and unforgivable. He’s guaranteed to have lost a lot of credit for everyone, both internally and externally. Most of all with his players. And that can hardly be regained.
‘I wouldn’t be surprised if Pep Guardiola’s time at Manchester City is over now.’
