Eternal adversaries: The rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Pep Guardiola

In recent days, Cristiano Ronaldo had been linked to Manchester City. Even the international media indicated that the forward agreed on details to sign for Pep Guardiola's team. However, in a matter of hours, the situation took an unexpected turn and the Portuguese ended up at Manchester United, the club he defended in the 2008-09 season.

The return of ‘CR7’ to the Premier League is the most talked about news of the weekend in England and around the world. For this reason, the Spanish strategist of the ‘Ciudadanos’ did not escape a question related to the frustrated signing of former Real Madrid. In fact, the 50-year-old coach was satisfied with the arrival of the star to the British tournament.

“There is no frustration with the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo is not coming here, it is great that he is back in the Premier League. It's good news, ”Guardiola commented in an interview with BT Sport. Right away, the former Barcelona revealed that he is happy with the squad he has at his disposal to face the rest of the campaign.

Pep Guardiola and Cristiano Ronaldo have us used to great things. Each one stands out in their own way, and their names have their own weight in football. However, and although their relationship may be good, it is incredible that history crosses them again. Is that, Guardiola led a Barcelona that won everything, except what Cristiano and Real Madrid prevented. Today in England, and as a Manchester City manager, the same can happen with the Portuguese at United.
