PORTO, Portugal -- As Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea celebrated, Pep Guardiola walked straight past the Champions League trophy without giving it a single glance, Manchester City were outplayed in a 1-0 Champions League final defeat and this was the closest Guardiola would get to touching the European Cup since he last won it 10 years ago.
He might as well have been a million miles away as, runners-up medal in hand, the City manager kept his head down. It was probably through a mixture of anger and exasperation, but there was also likely to be a heavy dose of regret, given how -- not for the first time -- he overthought his line-up and tactics, when simplicity would have been sensible.
