Pep Guardiola has now won more matches in the Champions League than Alex Ferguson after Manchester City beat RB Leipzig on Wednesday night.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss has now won 103 matches in the competition, going past Ferguson’s tally of 102 which he racked up over his epic Manchester United career.
Guardiola is now on his own in second place on that particular winning list, with only Carlo Ancelotti ahead of him in terms of Champions League wins.
The Real Madrid manager has added to his tally this campaign and has now won 109 matches in the competition after victories over Union Berlin and Napoli so far in the group stage this year.
Ancelotti is the only manager to have won four Champions League titles, claiming two with AC Milan and two more with Real Madrid.
The Manchester City boss is only one behind him after lifting the trophy with the Premier League champions last season and twice with Barcelona.
Guardiola will have Ancelotti’s winning record in terms of matches and titles in his sights in the near future, especially with the Italian leaving Madrid to take over as Brazil manager next year.
