FootballDespite the impeccable record, there is one record he has failed to beat, and that is winning the UEFA Champions League after 11 years which is a long time for a coach of his calibre.
In the 11 years, no manager has been eliminated at the semifinal stage of the championship more than the Spaniard, who has now been eliminated six times after reaching the last four. The latest is the heartbreaking elimination on 4th May 2022, by Real Madrid.
Fans have thrown around several theories as to why his fate is that way, and some have come to suggest that he is feeling the wrath of the ‘curse’, which were comments made by former Man City star midfielder Yaya Toure. The agents suggested that African 'shamans' would never let him win any UEFA Champion League following him benching Yaya Toure in many critical games during his final season with the club. To date, Pep and Yaya don’t see eye to eye.
