The World Cup winner worked under the Catalan coach at Bayern Munich and believes he now favours "a more cautious style"
Philipp Lahm says Pep Guardiola "would play 11 Iniestas" if allowed to favour that approach, with the Manchester City boss having to adopt "a more cautious style" since leaving Barcelona.
The Catalan coach has just booked a place in another Champions League final, 10 years on from the last time he lifted that trophy, with a date with Chelsea awaiting in a European showpiece.
City will be looking to complete a notable treble in that contest, as they prepare to add the Premier League title to another Carabao Cup success, and Guardiola has continued to tinker with his plans in 2020-21 as he searches for a winning formula at home and abroad.
