"I think the task is done. I don't want to compare myself, let alone with Leo, but remember his story at the World Cup, which you said: 'this is it, this is it'.

Look at the previous seasons where we lost to Chelsea or Real Madrid in the semi-finals, or even this year, we always suffered. Today we are very happy, but at the end of the match Inter could have snatched a draw, or even won. And now we would not be giving this interview and everyone would not be so happy. In the end, sport at such a high level is about details," Guardiola was quoted as saying by the Argentine newspaper Ole.
