Pep Guardiola revels in Manchester City 'power' after receiving backing of chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak in Champions League exit aftermath

Pep Guardiola claims he has never felt more ‘power’ as a manager than he does at Manchester City despite the worst Champions League failure of his career.

Guardiola revealed that he received a message of support from chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak following City’s painful defeat to AS Monaco in the last 16 on Wednesday night.

The two-time Champions League winning coach had never failed to reach the semi-finals of the competition before, but Guardiola feels in a stronger positon than he did at Barcelona and Bayern Munich after meeting City owner Sheikh Mansour at the end of last month.
