The departure of Yaya Toure from Man City was followed by strange comments from his agent claiming shamans would not allow Guardiola to lift the trophy.

Football can be a very cruel game, and Wednesday’s crushing defeat to Real Madrid will haunt Manchester City. Aiming for their second Champions League final in two years, the blues were dumped out of Europe’s premier football competition by a spirited Real Madrid team that struck late in injury time to level the tie before talisman Karim Benzema scored the winner from the spot.


For Guardiola, the result means another failure in the hunt for City’s main goal. Brought in to win the club the Champions League, the search for the trophy goes on for the billionaire owners of the club.


As happened with City’s defeat to Chelsea last season, comments have resurfaced from the agent of former City star Yaya Toure. After a fractious exit from the club in 2018, Toure’s agent Dmitri Seluk came out with some rather bizarre comments about shamans and curses, and how these could stop Pep from winning his coveted cup.


“God sees everything. As a man who acted with Yaya, the legend of the club, which under different pretexts did not give the opportunity to go on the field,” he said.

“He turned all Africa against himself, many African fans turned away from Manchester City. And I’m sure that many African shamans in the future will not allow Guardiola to win the Champions League.”

“It will be like an African curse on Guardiola. Time will tell if I am right or not.”

So far, these claims ring true.

Personally, I never wanted this man to win the Champions League with Mancity. He thinks his decisions are always right about everything on and off the pitch. Good he's out. Chased out almost all City's legends when he arrived. Nonsense.

Guardiola go collect wotoporiously
I see Liverpool leapfrog them to win the EPL

Now that they are out of the champions league, that's impossible.
Liverpool are even in danger of losing both the champions league and the league.
The pressure on them is now very high.

True, i think his situation with yaya toure in Barcelona was really surprising.
When yaya toure Left Barcelona, it was not something the football world expected but then again Guadiola went to Manchester city and did the same to Yaya toure again.
To be fair, he never gave Yaya toure a chance.

Is there still African African player there?
or are there no African players at Liverpool? Think b4 u post

yes, simply because he is good and his confidence level is very high...dts how genius are, dey do have dt trait of boldness called pride in them.
...his numbers speaks for him

Inasmuch as I don't believe this curse, but there has definitely been bad luck following Gaurdiolla's UCL quest with Man City.
City were in control & could very easily have been 2 goals up in the closing stages of the Madrid match, but somehow collapsed catastrophically & lost the match.

Bros nor dey make excuses...

Have u not noticed the way he gets eliminated from the competition in the past 10 years..
Most times to teams that are not stronger than his on a normal day

On a normal day, would he have lost to Lyon or Monaco with the kind of squad he has

Even yesterday match sef, na the curse make Madrid equalize because guardiola hardly loses 2 goal lead especially in the champions league..

For someone who has major successes in the domestic scene, his elimination is always surprising

He gats go ivory coast go beg if he wan touch that trophy very soon

Sad but true

he don enter be that.

the agent has, himself placed a curse on pep even without a shaman.

Damnnn niggar
There is no African curse

Ogbeni
They might lose that epl

Don't you know that losing and winning mentality also affects in football
Meaning as them lose yesterday champions league..the thing fit affect their mentality and them go just go draw Newcastle on Sunday...with that Liverpool go just carry the epl...infact I go bety money on that game....Newcastle to draw mancity

The Racist of Catalonia is an overrated oil-money manager

If you can go 3 years with THAT Bayern squad and fail to win ONE UCL, you are average.

You say curses don't exist in football. Ask Benfica how far.

Saw it on telegraph

Finally the noisy neighbours are out.

its not easy for pep yestrday, i feel so sad for em yestrday night tear even fall down from my eyes

I really feel bad for pep guardiola

The defeat seems unexplainable and strange. See the Goal timeline as captured by BBC's coverage.

Rodrygo (90' minutes, 90'+1 minutes), Benzema (95' minutes pen)

3 goals in the 90th minute, so it means in the 89th minute, City was still leading with a 2 goal advantage.
