PEP'S EMPIRE IS FALLING APART

Guardiola now looks broken

- By Jeremy Cross

PEP GUARDIOLA'S Manchester City empire continues to crumble. And it seems there is nothing the Spaniard can do to rebuild with the rubble left all around him. One night in Paris was all it took to remind the football world just how sour Guardiola's romance with City has become.

He looked broken as well as beaten in the wake of his side's 4-2 capitulation to Paris Saint-Germain in the Parc des Princes on Wednesday.

Guardiola looked like a man who had not slept for weeks, someone who goes to bed and stares at a ceiling that has fallen in on him.

And a look at the fixture list will not do much to cheer him up.
