MARTIN SAMUEL: On Saturday, in Porto, Guardiola will attempt to deliver the victory that many will argue was the mission from day one. Manchester City: champions of Europe. The club deny this, deny the supposed obsession with becoming the continent’s number one team, deny it was the priority target Guardiola was employed to deliver. But it was. The City Football Group with its global club network spread across continents was always intended to dominate. It would be incongruous if having the marquee club in the position of greatest prominence in Europe was not a stated aim. Then there is Guardiola’s own pride at stake. This is his first Champions League final since leaving Barcelona, his first since the 3-1 win over Manchester United 10 years ago yesterday that is still regarded as the pinnacle of his coaching career. When he won on that occasion, the modern City were still to collect their first title of the Premier League era.
