Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany has pinpointed how manager Pep Guardiola analyzes the opposition.

The Spanish coach is on the verge of winning City their first ever European Cup.

As the Citizens chase a historic treble, having already won the Premier League and FA Cup, Burnley boss Kompany paid tribute to Guardiola.

Speaking to Gary Neville on The Overlap, Kompany said: “It's a team that's won so much [Manchester City] so they will be as calm as you can imagine [ahead of the Champions League final]. They will do what they've done all season – they'll go home, play with the kids, have meetings about the opposition – and go into the game like any other. That is the advantage when you've played in a lot of cup finals, you learn that it's just another game.

“Pep Guardiola had definitely mentioned and talked about the opposition more than any other manager I've played under. Once you get to a point where you've faced different systems and coaches, the team masters all these things and I can imagine it's less about the opposition and more about your successes.

“In general, in the beginning with us, more than any other manager, he'd mention them [the opposition] because everything depends on what the opposition does.

“But that's why they get 100 points because they're always good at what they do and at stopping the other team

“This current Manchester City team is bigger in size [compared to the one I played in].

“They have one big advantage now, which is that they've got a six or seven-year library of solutions against different teams, whereas in the beginning teams hadn't adapted that much yet, so the one style we had was unbelievable."
