Why Barcelona has not won Champions League since 2015 – Guardiola

Former Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has outlined the reasons why Barcelona has been unable to secure another Champions League title since their 2015 triumph over Juventus.

The LaLiga club last lifted the trophy in 2015, when they defeated Juventus 3‑1 in the final.

Guardiola, who won the Champions League twice during his spell at Barcelona, cautioned against becoming overly fixated on the competition.

He said: “The Champions League is a competition that destroys projects, and I hope that’s not the case at Barça.”

“We must not think that just because you don’t win it, everything that has been built is no good.”

“The league is the competition that gives you consistency and continuity.”

“In the Champions League, you need to reach the decisive stages in good condition, without injuries, and refereeing also has a huge impact.”
