'Sterling missed an open goal!' - Torrent defends Guardiola's Champions League record & calls him 'a genius like Mozart'

Domenec Torrent has defended Pep Guardiola's Champions League record, while describing him as a "genius" in the same mould as classical music pioneer Wolfgang Mozart.

Guardiola quickly established himself as one of the best coaches in world football after beginning his career at Barcelona in 2008, leading them to three La Liga titles and two Champions League crowns in the space of four seasons.

The Catalan has since enjoyed similar success in the Bundesliga and Premier League with Bayern Munich and Manchester City, but has faced criticism for failing to add to his haul of European Cups.
