Pep Guardiola overtakes Alex Ferguson in Champions League wins after Manchester City beat RB Leipzig

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 Closing In On Ancelotti’s Record

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.

Manchester City needed late goals to beat RB Leipzig on Wednesday night, after Phil Foden opened the scoring but Lois Openda equalised for the Bundesliga side. However, substitutes Julian Alvarez and Jeremy Doku scored in the 84th and 92nd minute respectively to keep up City’s 100 per cent winning start to their European campaign.

Ferguson’s Legacy

Alex Ferguson won his second Champions League title with Manchester United in 2008 (Picture: Getty Images). The legendary manager also won three Premier League titles, five FA Cups, four League Cups and two UEFA Super Cups during his time at Old Trafford.

Ferguson’s success in Europe was also impressive, as he reached three Champions League finals during his time at United, winning two of them. The Scot also led United to a Club World Cup victory in 2008 and a UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup success in 1991.

Guardiola’s Success

Guardiola has been just as successful since taking over at Manchester City in 2016. He has won two Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups and one Community Shield during his time at the Etihad Stadium.

The Spaniard has also been successful in Europe, winning the Champions League last season and reaching the semi-finals of the competition in 2017/18. He has also led City to a UEFA Super Cup victory and a Club World Cup success.

Conclusion

Pep Guardiola has now overtaken Alex Ferguson in terms of Champions League wins 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 Manchester City boss is only one behind him after lifting the trophy with the Premier League champions last season and twice with Barcelona.

Ferguson’s legacy will live on forever, but Guardiola is certainly making a name for himself as one of the greatest managers of all time. With Ancelotti leaving Madrid next year, Guardiola will have a chance to overtake him in terms of Champions League wins and titles.
