Pep Guardiola has an unparalleled desire to win. Some people said his philosophy wouldn’t work in the Premier League after his Manchester City side finished third in his first season — now he’s set to collect his third title.
He spent last season’s lockdown 25 points behind Liverpool and hearing how his time at City could be up. Now he’s 26 points ahead of Jurgen Klopp’s side and contracted until 2023.
He was accused of overthinking things after crashing out of the Champions League to Lyon last season. Now, thanks to his innovation, he’s in this year’s final and one win from fulfilling his destiny for City.
