I'm using the xymatrix package (which I think is more friendly than tikz package), and I've been trying to do a simple triangle diagram with a circle arrow in the middle. I mean, I've done this one:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[all]{xy}
\begin{document}
$\xymatrix
   { & \mathcal{L} \ar[dl]_{\pi_j} \ar[dr]^{\pi_i} & \\
     G_j \ar[rr]_{\pi_i^j} & & G_i
   }
$
\end{document}

and I want to add a circle arrow in the middle. I've tried to add rows, but the diagonal arrows became crazy, and the result is awful.

    Welcome to TeX.SX! Can you sketch (e.g. by hand) how the final result should look like?

Like this?

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[all]{xy}
\begin{document}
$\xymatrix
   { & \mathcal{L} \ar[dl]_{\pi_j} \ar[dr]^{\pi_i} \ar[d]|-{\circ} & \\
     G_j \ar[rr]_{\pi_i^j} & & G_i
   }
$
\end{document}

Do you know tikz-cd package? It's not so difficult:

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage{tikz-cd} 
\usepackage{stix}
\begin{document} 
\begin{tikzcd}[column sep=small, row sep=small] 
    & \mathcal{L} \arrow{ddl}[swap]{\pi_{j}} \arrow{ddr}{\pi_{i}} &\\
    & \circlearrowleft &\\[-2ex]
    G_{j} \arrow{rr}[swap]{\pi_{i}^{j}} & & G_{i} \\
\end{tikzcd}
\end{document}

We're all still guessing what you want it to look like, but here's an attempt: enter image description here

You'd get that with:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage[cmtip,all]{xy}

\begin{document}

$\xymatrix{
  & \mathcal{L} \ar[dl]_{\pi_j} \ar[dr]^{\pi_i}
  \ar@{}[d]|-{\circlearrowleft} \\
  G_j \ar[rr]_{\pi_i^j}
  && G_i
}
$

\end{document}
