Clase maestra, if Pep Guardiola requires a translation on Monday morning. Master class. He will have been seeing that phrase a lot this season and his English may not yet extend to the outer reaches of the superlatives.
And what a clase maestra this was. Forget the gulf between the teams, one walking away with the Premier League, one scuffling with all their might to join it. Cardiff are a Neil Warnock team, with all that implies. They are hard-working, physical, uncompromising.
Warnock is a specialist at busting teams out of England’s second tier and has been responsible for some decent cup surprises, too.
