The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" confirmed that Real Madrid has become a nightmare for Spanish coach Pep Guardiola in the continental tournament, after the white team eliminated Guardiola for the fifth time in his European career.

Guardiola, the Manchester City coach, lost to Real Madrid on Tuesday in the Champions League, adding this elimination to the list of matches where his team was knocked out by the Spanish club, bringing the total to five times.

Throughout his career in the UEFA Champions League, Guardiola has been eliminated by Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Liverpool, Lyon, Monaco, and Tottenham, but none of these teams managed to eliminate him more than once. Meanwhile, Real Madrid has surpassed them by eliminating him five times.

The first elimination of Real Madrid by Guardiola occurred when he was the coach of Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of the 2013/2014 season, and the last encounter was this season, highlighting the dominance of the royal club in decisive matches against the Spanish coach.

In general, Guardiola faced Real Madrid in 17 Champions League matches during his coaching tenures with Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City, achieving six victories and four draws, while Real Madrid won seven matches, highlighting the royal team's superiority in direct confrontations against Guardiola.
