Yaya Toure's formr agent Dimitri Seluk has revealed that the 'curse' of Pep Guardiola never winning a Champions League again has been lifted.
Seluk who represented Manchester City star Yaya Toure had sad that Guardiola would never win the Champions League trophy again in his career since African Shamans had put a hex on the manager for his alleged ill-treatment of the midfielder.
Speaking to The Mirror, Seluk said, "I want to apologize for this matter. I think it is time for this bitterness to stop - and I know that Yaya feels the same because he wishes nothing but success for City. I can say that the spell has now been lifted by the shamans - and that I think City will win the Champions League under Pep.
"They have a good chance of winning it this year. But whatever happens, they will definitely win it in the next three years. Do you remember when I once criticised City for not giving Yaya a cake on his birthday? Well, it is my birthday this month and my present is for this curse to be ended. In fact, it is my hope that City win the Treble this season."
Guardiola's City were close to lifting the trophy but were defeated by Chelsea in the finals in the 2020/21 campaign
Last season, despite having a 4-2 lead on aggregate against Real Madrid until the dying moments of their semi-final second-leg clash, they got knocked out of the competition.
This time they are on track to become the first English club since Manchester in 1999/00 to win the 'treble'.
