Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola surpassed a historic record registered in the name of Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson, after a 4-0 victory over Slovan in the Champions League.
Over the 26 years in which he coached Manchester United, Ferguson succeeded in winning by a difference of at least 4 goals in 12 matches in the Champions League, making him the most successful in this regard in the history of the “Big Ears”.
But the Scottish coach’s historic record is now a thing of the past, as Guardiola surpassed it with the recent victory over Slovan.
Manchester City reached the 13th victory by a difference of 4 goals or more under Guardiola in the Champions League, and thus the Spanish philosopher tops the history of the most important competition in the world of clubs.
Among the 13 victories is the biggest victory in City’s history in Europe, the 7-0 win over Leipzig in March 2023.
It is worth noting that Guardiola succeeded in leading Manchester City to win the Champions League for the first time in its history in 2023, while Sir Alex Ferguson won the Champions League twice with United in 1999 and 2008.
