Guardiola Hits 400 Wins: City’s Milestone Moment That Has History Fans Smiling
Guardiola celebrates a milestone as City seal their group-stage progress in Europe.

Guardiola's Record-Breaking Night

Spain-born Pep Guardiola, Manchester City's manager, etched his name in gold after steering the club to a 2-0 victory over Galatasaray on Wednesday, sealing their win in the eighth and final group-stage match of the Champions League.

According to Stats Foot, Guardiola notched his 400th win for City across all competitive matches, bringing his record to 400 wins, 82 draws, and 87 defeats.

Opta confirmed that Guardiola, who has overseen 569 games for City, is the fastest ever English top-flight coach to reach 400 wins across all competitions, surpassing Arsène Wenger (732), Sir Alex Ferguson (777), George Ramsey (802), and Matt Busby (809).

City finished the group with 16 points in eighth place, while Galatasaray drop into the playoff rounds after finishing twentieth with 10 points.

Punchline 1: If winning were a playlist, Guardiola's DJ set would never hit the mute button.

Punchline 2: He doesn’t chase records; records chase him—like a good defender, they always stick to him.
