Guardiola's team, once again as the favourite to win the Champions League, lost the opportunity to lift the Big Ears Cup. Since leaving Barca, whether it is Bayern, the bundesliga hegemon, or Manchester City, the super league leader Manchester City, Guardiola has always been able to play the role of loser in the champions league on the top stage. And hisnother failure also set off the strength of the low-key midfield tri-core when he coached the invincible Barca. The midfield iron triangle composed of Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets, while helping the Matadors army win the World Cup and the European Championship, build a generation of dynasties, but also helpEd Barca establish a dream three, a dream four, and a second generation dynasty as an absolute core.
After Guardiola left Barca, although he has been trying to re-form a new "Habaibu", it has always been almost interesting in both Bayern and Manchester City. During his time at Bayern, Guardiola recruited Thiago from Barca, but the midfielder, who was regarded as Xavi's successor, was unable to deliver a satisfactory performance due to injuries, conditions and other issues. After coaching Manchester City, although de Bruyne has been trained as a top midfielder, it is still difficult to compare with "Habaibu" due to poor physical fitness and repeated loss of chains in key battles. This shows how difficult it is to find a top midfielder who is not plagued by injuries and has no shortcomings in all aspects of the field.
However, Barca has gathered 3 at the same time, and what is more frightening is that the three cores of the midfield are still from the same youth training system and implement the same football philosophy, so the effect of 1 plus 1 plus 1 is far greater than 3. Therefore, with this super midfield tri-core, Barca have long played a winner role in both the Champions League and the league. However, due to the dream three and four dream periods, there is a goal-scoring Messi on the front line, so "Habaibu" is very low-key in terms of personal honors, whether it is the club's six-crown, five-crown season or the World Cup winning year, the Ballon d'Or award has always been irrelevant to them. But since Xavi left the team in 2015 and Iniesta and Busquets declined due to their age, Barca have not been able to win the Champions League stage again, and it can undoubtedly be seen that Barca's midfield three cores are the absolute real thighs of dream three and dream four.
When Xavi left in the summer of 2015, Barca's midfielder "Iron Triangle" was dissolved, even if Barca's forward line, sitting on the "MSN" super offensive combination that was blown away, barca stopped in the Champions League quarter-finals in the 15-16 season, and not only did it stop in the Champions League quarter-finals in the 16-17 season, but also made a clean sheet by opponent Juve in both legs and played a 3-0 score. Then, as Xiao Bai slipped and left the team, Barca began a tragic encounter of being reversed continuously. Therefore, I don't know whether "Habaibu" left Messi and Guardiola and whether he can still win countless championship trophies, but at least after Messi and Guardiou left "Habaibu", it is an indisputable fact that they can no longer hold the champions cup on the top stage to this day.
