The Spaniard has won 12 domestic league titles during his tenures at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and then Manchester City, along with an abundance of domestic trophies and individual accolades. In the Champions League, his three titles - two with Barca and one with City - put him among the greats with only five-time winner Carlo Ancelotti having won more. Guardiola himself would perhaps be disappointed with that yield, having come so close to adding to that tally on several occasions with City. "We have an extraordinary team and extraordinary group of players, the future is bright," said the defiant City boss after Tuesday's exit. But, given the uncertainty around his future in Manchester beyond this season, questions will be asked around whether this was the 55-year-old's last chance to win the coveted trophy.
