One last bullet. 
As is Pep's, yet the reason Bayern were so seduced by the Catalan in the first place was not just because he was the most successful coach around during his time as Barca boss, but because he also won with style, spectacular attacking football and an unwavering philosophy to treat the ball with care and attention - something Simeone worries little about.
All of that has been seen under Pep at the Allianz Arena these past three seasons, yet without Lionel Messi he has found it more difficult to win the Champions League. His hopes of doing so this time around hang by a thread after the 1-0 loss at Atletico last week.
Simeone, having secured that advantage for his side in Madrid, was asked to relay a message to Atletico's passionate fans on Monday and said: "That we will stay true to our style."
But Guardiola was reluctant to talk about style. "It's an old debate," he said. "The Atletico coach does what he does because that is what he feels, what he believes. I have players who don't have so much quality in small spaces, so I have had to adapt to that. We have other virtues and my players know that. Simeone feels what he does and I do too. The thing is adapting to what you have."

And he has. But Bayern have also adapted to Guardiola's methods. Ever since his arrival in 2013, the Munich outfit have moved away from the more direct and counter-attacking football which secured the treble under Jupp Heynckes and towards a possession and passing philosophy more in line with Guardiola's style at Barcelona.
So while he may be tired of the debate, the question remains a valid one. And asked about how he would play in the second leg against Atleti, Guardiola's response left no doubt that he will be sticking to his beliefs, while he also aimed a dig at two of the club's former coaches in an attempt to defend his own tactics.
"We have shown we can defend very well and switch very well to attack," he said. "My way of playing is totally different. There were top coaches here like [Ottmar] Hitzfled and [Giovanni] Trapattoni who defended very well, but had 11 men back. That’s not my way."
His way, of course, has changed the course of modern football. Not just Barcelona between 2008 and 2012 when he led the Catalan club to 14 out of 18 titles including six out of six in his first 18 months and two Champions League crowns, but also Spain's success internationally owes much to Pep's philosophy - as did Germany's 2014 World Cup win.
Since his final season at Camp Nou, however, there has been more joy for counter-attacking teams. Chelsea, Bayern and Real Madrid (still playing principally on the break with the pace of Angel Di Maria, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo) won the Champions League in 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively, while even Barca moved away from his tiki-taka blueprint to claim the treble last term. It is Simeone's side, though, that are perceived as perhaps the principal threat to the possession and passing plan perfected by Pep.
When Atleti won La Liga and reached the Champions League final in 2013-14, Barca were out of sorts with Messi injured for much of the campaign and Madrid tailed off domestically as they advanced in the two knockout competitions they ended up winning. But this term, Simeone's side are competing on two fronts against the top teams in Europe with an even better team.
"Even [Johan] Cruyff, who is the master of masters, needed a long time to instill his ideas," Guardiola said on Monday. But for the Catalan coach, there is no time left at Bayern now and in Tuesday's epic battle of styles against Simeone, there can only be one winner. It is a style that has already denied Barca a second straight treble and one which now poses serious danger to Guardiola's legacy at Bayern. And after the mistakes made in the last two semi-finals against Madrid in 2013-14 and Barca last year, the 45-year-old cannot afford another disappointment at this stage of the competition.
Lose out to the Argentine and his legacy in Munich will lose some sparkle despite domestic success, while there will be fresh question marks over the effectiveness of Pep's philosophy at the highest level as he prepares for a summer move to Manchester City.
So there's much riding on that one last bullet. - Goal
