“I am a failure in the Champions League. If I win the Champions League three times in a row, I will be a failure.” Guardiola He said.
“I have three idols in my life. Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Julia Roberts. Those are the three idols.
“Julia Roberts years ago came to Manchester – not in the ’90s when Sir Alex was [Ferguson] He was winning trophies, titles and titles. It came in the period when we were better than United, in these four or five years, right?
“And I went to visit Manchester United. She didn’t come to see us. That’s why even if I win the Champions League, it won’t compare to the fact that Julia Roberts came to Manchester and didn’t come to see us.

It is understood his comments have caught the attention of rivals United.
