Immediately Thomas Tuchel arrived at Chelsea from Paris Saint Germain, Pep Guardiola was among the top coaches he would beat back to back.
Tuchel did well for the London team when he joined it last year. But things are gradually turning sour for the German international. He doesn’t seem to maintain the tactics he used them.
He met Manchester City at the final of the UEFA Champions League last year. Guardiola was looking forward to winning the first UEFA Champions League for his club.
Just one goal from Havertz was all Thomas Tuchel’s side needed to hammer Pep Guardiola and his men. That haunted the Spaniard for several months until he began to deal with Tuchel.
The Champions League final would be the last time Chelsea would beat Manchester City. Tuchel recorded a back to back victory over Guardiola in England.
He beat the Spaniard in the English FA cup semifinal, dealt with the Spaniard in the English Premier League before striking him in the Champions League final.
Since that time till now, they have met twice and Guardiola was able to revenge. They met in September, 2021 and today’s afternoon.
The week 22 match was full of waste of chances, but the Belgian, Kelvin de Bruyne was on ground to help extend Manchester City’s lead on the English Premier League.
His 72nd minute strike was all Pep Guardiola needed to worsen Chelsea’s performance in recent times. His side is now leading Tuchel’s Chelsea with 13 points.
