Guardiola storms into record books

ROME: Barcelona's Champions League triumph was down to bravery and hard work, said record-setting coach Pep Guardiola.

"If you take the ball and you attack and you are daring you have more chances of winning," the 38-year-old former Barca player told a news conference.

While Barcelona ended United's reign as European champions and their bid to be the first side to retain the trophy since AC Milan in 1990, Guardiola made some notable marks on the competition's record books himself.
