African shamans: the mysterious reason why Pep Guardiola has a “curse” in the Champions League

Coach Pep Guardiola loses again as coach of Manchester City and this time against Real Madrid, who came back in the final minutes and left the English with no chance of the Champions League.

How did Guardiola’s curse come about and what is the fault of the African shamans?

Now, a new urban legend has begun to gain strength and is that a curse of African shamans would have fallen on Pep Guardiola and this would prevent him from winning a title in the Champions League.

It was Dimitri Seluk, representative of the footballer Touré Yaya, who launched the curse against the Spanish coach when the midfielder left the English club.

At the time, Dimitri railed against the City manager, noting that all of Africa was outraged at the Manchester City manager.

“Guardiola managed to turn all of Africa against him. I am sure that many African shamans will do everything possible so that Guardiola does not win the Champions League. This will be an African curse for Guardiola. The Boomerang will return, you will see what African shamans can do.” noted at the time.

It seems that the curse is being fulfilled because every time the English team is eliminated from the Champions League, everyone remembers the words of Touré Yaya’s representative.

How many eliminations has Guardiola suffered in the Champions League since 2011?

It is not the first time that Pep cannot pass, nor win finals and key matches in the Champions League.

The games that Pep Guardiola lost in the Champions League with City were when they fell 1-3 against Lyon in the quarter-finals.

In the 2020-21 season, his team was defeated in the final by Chelsea. They fell 1-0, with a Kai Havertz goal just before the end of the first half making the difference.

From 2011 to 2022, Pep Guardiola has been eliminated or has lost Champions League matches and finals 13 times.
