I feel there are two types of manager. One that creates a system that to put in place on a consistent basis and another that is a tactician that can adjust the system based on the opponent. He has shown he isn't very good at the ladder but is possibly one of, if not the greatest of all time at the system. That's why he wins domestic leagues with ease. His system is second to none. Only the odd great tactician can best his system. But, in the champions league, when the competition is the best of the best, tacticians come about more. This is why he only has one Champions League. And he won that with possibly the greatest team ever. Sir Alex Ferguson said as much. The best team he ever saw go out onto the pitch were the Barcelona teams that beat him in the 2009 and 2011 finals. Jury is out for me whether Pep is a good enough tactician to beat someone else's system.
