Lothar Matthaus rips into Pep Guardiola after Man City's Champions League final defeat to Chelsea as he accuses Catalan of STEALING the trophy from his side due to his team selection... and Germany icon feels his time at the club may be OVER

Lothar Matthaus has launched a scathing attack on Pep Guardiola by insisting that he stole the Champions League trophy from Manchester City because of his questionable team selection for the final.

Boss Guardiola has been accused on several occasions of tinkering with a winning formula, moves that have proved costly in several crunch ties during his Etihad tenure, and he has come under fresh fire after the defeat in Porto.

Leading the way with his criticism is Bayern Munich and Germany great Matthaus, who has savaged Guardiola's choices as 'inexplicable and unforgiveable' and even claimed his time at City may now be over.
