Is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Pep Guardiola’s trickiest opponent? | 4 November 2021

Guardiola might have more famous nemeses, like Jurgen Klopp, Jose Mourinho and Thomas Tuchel, but Ole’s figures bear comparison with the best of the Spaniard’s opponents.

Liverpool honcho Klopp is the man with the most victories against Guardiola (nine), but Pep has beaten him on just as many occasions.

Mourinho has seven wins from 25 games, while Mauricio Pochettino and Solskjaer are the next most successful, with four – though the Argentinian has faced Guardiola on substantially more occasions (21) than Ole’s eight.
