The African curse that hunts Guardiola in Champions League: The boomerang will return, Pep
Yaya Toure's agent had warned the Catalan coach


Following Manchester City's Champions League final defeat to Chelsea on Saturday, many recalled the remarks of Yaya Toure's agent Dimitri Seluk about the African curse that would hunt the Catalan coach.


Back in 2018, Seluk stressed that Guardiola's decision to not count on Toure as a starter in the midfielder's final season at the Sky Blues would not be taken well by some African shamans.

"[Guardiola] turned all Africa against himself, many African fans turned away from Manchester City," said Seluk.

"And I'm sure that many African shamans in the future will not allow Guardiola to win the Champions League.

"This will be for Guardiola an African curse. Life will show whether I am right or not.

"The fact that Guardiola ended Yaya's career in Manchester City is not even a mistake, but a crime. But the boomerang will return, Pep.

"You will still see what the African shamans are. Remember this always."

Social media tends to remember Seluk's comments every time Manchester City fail in the Champions League, with the famous agent posting an image alluding to the curse after a Sky Blues' defeat to Lyon in 2018.
