Manchester City came into the contest down 3-0 on aggregate, though they scored a first-half goal and had a second goal disallowed after Leroy Sane was controversially ruled offside, drawing the ire of Guardiola and the City supporters.

Guardiola and refereeย Antonio Mateu Lahoz have a history, according toย James Duckerย of theย Telegraph:

"Guardiola was furious at Lahoz's failure to award Sergio Aguero a penalty in the first leg ofย City's 5-3 Champions League Round of 16 win over Monaco last seasonย and instead book the Argentina striker for diving under a challenge from goalkeeper Danijel Subasic.

"Lahoz awarded Monaco a penalty in the same game that was missed by Radamel Falcao and City ended up losing the second leg 3-1 to exit the competition on away goals."

Guardiola recounted the moment last week.

"I remember what happened last year," he said. "It was 1-1 at home to Monaco when there was a clear penalty on Aguero and what should have been a red card, but the Spanish referee [Lahoz] didn't call it. We went from a possible 2-1 lead to 2-1 deficit. These types of situations are very important."

As for Tuesday, Guardiola didn't appear to be enjoying his time in the stands, per AS English:ย 

Liverpool ultimately won the matchup 5-1 in aggregate.

While Manchester City's Champions League campaign didn't go as planned, the club has all but clinched a Premier League title, holding a 13-point advantage over second-place Manchester United with just six matches remaining.ย 

So City will have their title, but it won't be coming in Europe.ย
