Although he wasn’t on the touchline, Sunday’s victory over Sheffield United still marked a significant milestone for Pep Guardiola.

The Catalan became the fastest manager to 200 wins in English top-flight history with the 2-1 win at Bramall Lane.

Taking just 269 games to hit his double century, it sees our boss far eclipse the previous record of 326 matches set by Jose Mourinho in 2020.

Sir Alex Ferguson held the Premier League era record, taking 322 games to reach 200 wins

Guardiola has been the dominant manager in English football since arriving at City in 2016, guiding us to five Premier League titles in seven seasons.

The latest win sees us become the only side in this year’s Premier League to have a 100% record after three games.

The boss is currently in Spain, recovering from routine back surgery earlier in the week, but his assistant Juanma Lillo insisted on Friday that Guardiola’s influence has still been felt on the team throughout the week.

Pep's Premier League stats after seven seasons

Across his 269 league fixtures in charge at City, Guardiola has seen City pick up a whopping 636 points.

That’s 57 more than Liverpool, who have been the second best performing Premier League team since the summer of 2016.

Of the other 69 games, City have drawn 34 times and lost on 35 occasions.

Under his management, City have scored 665 and conceded just 216 goals to leave us with a momentous goal difference of +449.

Congratulations to Pep Guardiola and his backroom staff on yet another spectacular record.

Even if the account is 20 years old does it stop the handler from talking trash?. CR7 does not know this handler and he/she does not speak for his fans worldwide.

People always try to pitch celebrities against each other just for trends...and trust the media, they will blow it out of proportion.

The hanlder is just one person so his/her opinion is inconsequential.

elder1002:
Most of you forget about the criteria for selection, you all just focus more on champions league 😅😅😅😅.

World cup is the biggest cup.

Messi is selected and FiFa is fraud, this and that.

Have you rilly checked messi stat this year alone

Award is based on individual involvement in the team .

Individual performance
Individual strenght and technicalities in a team

You people forget the INDIVIDUAL and focus more on team success..

Now tell me aside goals there are more individual performance that are looked on before u can be called the best in the tournaments all round.. remember this cuts across Europe and international team all round.

Do u think they award this because you had goals and no other extra like assist, man of the match, take ons, chances blocked, duets won, cleared, saves etc...

If awards were won just because of goals alone, even defenders, defence mid filders and goal keepers won't even be nominated..

We have limited our beauty of football to just GOALS, GOALS, GOALS,

THERE IS MORE TO FOOTBALLS THAN JUST GOALS.. EVERY MAN HAS A POSITION ON THE PITCH AND BASED ON YOUR POSITION YOU HAVE A PERFORMANCE RATING.

WHY THEN DO U THINK WE HAVE MATCH RATINGS AFTER EACH MATCH FOR PLAYERS BASED ON THEIR PERFORMANCE ON THE FIELD.

WE ARE TO BLIND TO SEE THAT MESSI IS JUST UNIQUE AND SAD ENOUGH HE HAS SET A STANDARD THAT OTHERS SEE IT AS NORMAL...

REMEMBER JORGIOHO WON FIFA BEST BECAUSE OF HIS INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE AND LITTLE IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE BUT HE WASN'T THE HIGHEST GOAL SCORER IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, EVEN MODIRC AND OTHERS AND VANDL DIJK

People are more focused on goals scored because it will favour Ronaldo but once u start putting other stats that brings the beauty of footballs then you can't deny the fact but call messi in...

For every match played, check the stat and ratings of each player and get the average sum from their first match to the last of the season..

Haven't you seen that a team would loose to another team but still there will be a player in the loosing team that has the highest match rating in that match....

Don't just focus on goals goals goals and cups mostimes but focus on individual brilliance in the whole year in all competitions.

Individual performance not team performance

If you think goals is what determines this awards and team efforts not individual performance.. messi would have 10 fifa best and 10 ballon d or.

Hahnemann:
This league is a joke. Most goals that Messi have scored, he has always been left unmarked by the opponents. He will even score more than 100 goals this season.
