Pep Guardiola Shatters Sir Alex Ferguson's Champions League Record After Man City's Win Over Leipzig

• Man City beat RB Leipzig 3-1 during their Group G clash in the Champions League
• This was Pep Guardiola's 103rd Champions League win as a manager
• Guardiola has enjoyed a stellar European career with Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and now City

Pep Guardiola has surpassed Sir Alex Ferguson's Champions League record following Man City's epic win over RB Leipzig on Wednesday night.

City scored two late goals during their second Group G fixture to see off the Bundesliga giants.

The reigning English champions went into the tie off a poor run of form that had seen them suffer back-to-back defeats in the Carabao Cup and the Premier League.

However, Guardiola's charges put that behind them during their trip to Germany to secure maximum points away from home.

Manchester Evening News reports that Julian Alvarez was City's match hero as he came off the bench in the 79th minute to inspire his side to victory.

Guardiola surpasses Fergie's record

According to The Mirror, this was Guardiola's 103rd Champions League win - one more than Fergie, who recorded 102 victories.

As it stands, Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti holds the record for the most Champions League wins at 108.

However, Guardiola is sure to shatter that record, with Ancelotti set to depart Real Madrid in the summer to reportedly take up national duties.

Ancelotti's imminent departure has already been confirmed by Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, Pep will be hoping to see his side build on the momentum when they take on Premier League challengers Arsenal on Sunday, October 8.

Only one point separates the two teams at the top of the charts, with the Gunners still unbeaten after seven rounds of fixtures.
