Bayern Munich crashed out of the semifinal in all the three seasons he managed the German side and Manchester City so far have been knocked out from the quarterfinal thrice, round of 16 on one occasion. They reached the final last season but lost to Chelsea 1-0 and this season, they lost to Real Madrid despite having a two-goal lead on aggregate till the 90th minute in the second leg.

It remains to be seen when Guardiola might finally break 11-year Champions League jinx.
