FWEEEE!
The whistle cut through the stadium like a blade, and then, it started.
The war at the Etihad.
2 of the most in-form teams in the UEFA Champions League this season clashed in a highly-anticipated game, a game that promised excitement, action, and drama. A game where the star players took the stage as well as their coaches did.
Yes, tonight, it was not just a clash between the players of both teams, a lot of it was also focused on the 2 coaches.
The reason for the focus on Hansi Flick was self-explanatory. Last season, he led Barca's resurgence at the top of European football and this season, with the addition of Sam, the German coach was forging an all-time great season with the Catalan club.
As for Pep Guardiola? It was simple, the coach was Catalan.
He was born and bred in Barcelona.
