Pep Guardiola’s greatest moments as Manchester City manager

Pep Guardiola has confirmed he will leave Manchester City at the end of the season. 

His side missed out on the Premier League title following the 1-1 draw at Bournemouth in midweek.

However, the Spaniard’s overall success since arriving in Manchester has secured his status as one of the all-time greats. 

We look at some of the highlights of Guardiola’s career at Man City.

Record 100 points tally

Many people doubted whether the Spaniard’s possession-based style of play could succeed in the Premier League. 

He silenced all his critics when his City team cruised to the Premier League title in 2017-18. 

They became the first and only English team to post 100 points along their way to lifting the league title. 

City also scored 106 goals, achieving the best-ever goal difference (+79) in the modern era. 

Domestic treble 

Man City maintained their incredible high standards the following season by completing a domestic treble. 

Liverpool gave them fierce competition, but they ultimately won the league title by just one point. 

Guardiola’s team also lifted the FA Cup and Carabao Cup.

City’s first Champions League trophy

Despite City’s domestic dominance under Guardiola, the Champions League trophy eluded them for several years. 

That all changed in 2023, when they realised their dream of conquering Europe by beating Inter Milan in the final. 

While the final was a scrappy affair, their 4-0 semi-final victory against Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium was arguably the pinnacle of his entire reign in charge. 

Four consecutive league titles 

Sir Alex Ferguson twice won three Premier League titles in a row. 

But Guardiola surpassed the Scottish great in 2024 by leading his City team to four consecutive league crowns. 

Arsenal competed well, but City beat them to the title after winning their final nine games of the season.
