Pep Guardiola has revealed that he is not under major pressure to win the Champions League at Manchester City.
However, he would not have the same luxury at a club such as Manchester United or Liverpool, he has admitted.
This is the third team that Guardiola has managed and the one he has been at the longest.
Yet the last time he won the Champions League was with Barcelona back in 2011, when his star-studded team beat Sir Alex Ferguson's United 3-1 at Wembley.
The Catalan coach has a chance to claim another European title this Saturday when City take on Chelsea - which would be his third of his managerial career.
That would draw him level with Zinedine Zidane, Carlo Ancelotti and Bob Paisley for most Champions League titles won.
Yet Guardiola does not feel the pressure going into the final, insisting the level of expectation would be different had he taken the reins at United or Liverpool.
In an interview with Rio Ferdinand on BT Sport, he said: “I didn’t come here because the club said ‘you have to win the Champions League’.
“If I went to United, Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid, you’d always hear ‘you have to win the Champions League’.
“I do not feel that pressure here. The only pressure I feel here? To play your team like the way why you took over.
“You took over to play a certain way, you have to do everything this way.”
While City are going into the clash as favourites, Chelsea have beaten the Premier League champions in their last two outings.
When asked if the Blues have the advantage over them as a result, Guardiola said: "Absolutely nothing - zero.
Who do you think will win the Champions League final? Have your say in the comments below.
"I know how we prepare for this final and the reason why, we came just two days after qualifying through the Dortmund game and after the semi-finals, you know in that moment - well deserved, congratulations to Chelsea, but it's a new game, we'll face them Saturday and see what happens."
While City will be gunning for their first-ever Champions League title, Chelsea will be competing for their second.
The Blues last won the trophy in 2012 when they beat Bayern Munich on penalties.
