It’s finally happening. Pep Guardiola is collapsing under the weight of his own genius and the Audi Cup, of all things, is proving to be the catalyst of his unraveling.

Bayern go above and beyond their fans’ giant “Never give up!” tifo message to dismantle Porto
I hate to say I told you so, but I totally 100% told you so. Bayern came back from a shock 3-1 loss to Porto in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal to beat them 6-1 in the second leg (five Bayern goals scored before halftime). This was Pep Guardiola’s plan all along.

It was so overwhelming that even Guardiola himself couldn’t watch the devastation he had wrought.
Bayern Munich cruelly allow Porto to hope and dream after first leg
Two early goals from Ricardo Quaresma and a third from Jackson Martinez in the 65th minute gave Porto a shocking 3-1 home win against Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal.

Instead, it’s probably just Bayern being incredibly mean.

Some top tips that Guardiola is probably sharing with Zidane:
