Pep Guardiola talks about what Barcelona must learn about the Champions League

Pep Guardiola has been talking about Barcelona and the Champions League and has told his former club they do not have to win the European Cup.

Barcelona have not won the Champions League since 2015, and their recent exits from the tournament have overshadowed their domestic successes.

Ernesto Valverde’s side suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Liverpool last season, and Guardiola has offered his thoughts on their European ambitions.

“I think there’s one area where Barça must learn and I say this with the greatest respect, not just because I’m a Barça fan: just because you’re Barça doesn’t mean you have to win the Champions League.
