Pep Guardiola compares his intense rivalry with Jose Mourinho to basketball playoffs, emphasizing the strategic back-and-forth between teams. Their encounters in the 2010/11 season featured four matches in 17 days, with Guardiola winning a crucial Champions League semi-final while Mourinho took the Copa del Rey. This season, Guardiola faces Eddie Howe, with Manchester City winning four of their five clashes, but Newcastle delivered a significant Premier League setback in November.
