But everyone knows what the endgame for Guardiola is, and that's the Champions League. While Bayern walked the league and won the DFB Pokal against Borussia Dortmund, their Champions League campaign ended at the hands of Real Madrid in what Guardiola would later call the "biggest f*** up" of his career. Going into the game, Guardiola was deliberating whether to play a 3-4-3 or a 4-2-3-1 formation, and seemed to settle on the former, telling his assistant coach not to let him change his mind. Later, according to the book 'Pep Confidential', he would refer to the game as the biggest "f*** up" of his career. Against PSG, Guardiola can afford no more errors, and needs to ensure he sticks to the tactics that have made City runaway Premier League leaders.
