Ole actually has one of the best records around against Pep. In fact for a while he was the only manager in any of the leagues who actually had a positive record against him (not counting managers who had only played him a couple of times).
Looking into current records, from managers who have faced Pep at least five times Conte and Klopp are the only managers with better records against him.
Oh I remember. If there was one thing Ole did well it's counter, I think he was part of the reason Pep got so obsessed with athleticism and PnP in recent years. He'd rock up trying to play the standard tiki taka and get done on the counter repeatedly. Tougher to do now with those 4 CB's and Rodri in front.
