Manchester City fans believe Pep Guardiola and his team selection played a big role in the Citizens' Champions League final defeat to Chelsea on Saturday.

After the winning the Premier League and League Cup already this term, it has been a successful campaign for City. However, winning the Champions League remains the club's ultimate goal, and they had the chance to do just that in Porto. However, they were defeated 1-0 by the Blues following a goal from Kai Havertz in the first half.

Guardiola's starting XI selection was questionable to say the least. He usually sets his team up with at least one defensive midfielder, but for some reason in this match he chose to select neither Fernandinho nor Rodri, instead lining up with what was effectively six attack-minded midfielders.

Prior to the final, at least one of those two men started 59 out of 60 matches for City this season.

The Spanish manager has been accused of overthinking in the past, and he may have just done that again.

The City supporters were far from happy, and they took to social media platform Twitter to share their thoughts.

Let's see what the fans had to say about Guardiola below

"The lineup that beat Dortmund and PSG should have started today. I just don't get why Pep did it again? If there's one thing that is not great about him it's the fact he tries to be too different. No striker and No DM??"
