CHRIS SUTTON: Thomas Tuchel once had the wood over Pep Guardiola but his Bayern Munich side won't be able to dominate Man City... Joao Cancelo's battle with Jack Grealish will be key in Tuesday's Champions League clash

For a while, Thomas Tuchel had Pep Guardiola sussed.

Chelsea beat Manchester City three times on the trot in 2020-21, totally destroying their dream of a Quadruple.

First in the FA Cup. Then in the Premier League. Then in the Champions League final, on that fateful night in Porto when Guardiola didn't use neither Rodri nor Fernandinho.

Instead he used Ilkay Gundogan in defensive midfield and Kevin De Bruyne as a false nine. That muddled game plan only added to the train of thought that Guardiola can overthink these occasions.
