Remember that Mateu Lahoz has starred in some ‘collision’ with Pep Guardiola, City coach, one of the protagonists of the final.

The one that raised the most dust came in the 2018 quarter-final tie where City were eliminated by Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. Guardiola was expelled when approaching the referee, as soon as the first half finished. He reproached him for the annulled goal of Sané was legal.
