With a 3-1 win over FC Copenhagen on Wednesday night, Man City secured their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and made history in Europe’s top competition.
The Premier League club had a 3-1 lead from the first leg, but they did not let up and scored three more goals through Manuel Akanji, Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland to eliminate the Danish side.
The win was Man City’s tenth consecutive victory in the Champions League, a feat that no other English team has ever achieved.
Only two other clubs – Bayern Munich and Real Madrid – have managed to win ten games in a row in the competition, which shows how difficult it is to accomplish.
Man City are still the frontrunners to lift the Champions League trophy this season, as they face little competition from other teams.
Arsenal and Real Madrid could pose some threat, but the former has not advanced to the next stage yet and the latter is struggling with their form.
Other clubs, such as Bayern Munich and PSG, have some star players but they lack the overall quality to defeat City, especially in a two-legged tie.
Guardiola has finally achieved his long-awaited goal of bringing the cup to the Etihad, and he has a good chance of repeating that feat, but he should not underestimate the unpredictability of this tournament and keep his team focused.
