'I feel ignorant when I watch Man City' - Bielsa admits Guardiola's tactics are a mystery

Marcelo Bielsa has admitted he is mystified by how Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are able to dominate games, and insists he had nothing to do with developing the Catalan's philosophy.

Guardiola has previously called Bielsa the "best coach in the world" and sought out a meeting with the now Leeds United boss before taking charge of Barcelona back in 2008.

Since then, Guardiola has become renowned as one of the best tacticians in the game and has gone onto win multiple titles with Bayern Munich and City after a period of dominance in Catalonia, most recently claiming a second successive Premier League title on Sunday.
