Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola set an unwanted record on Wednesday after his side’s Champions League Round of 16 first-leg defeat to Real Madrid.
The Spaniard watched as Real Madrid thrashed the Citizens 3-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Federico Valverde scored the three goals of the encounter in Spain to give the Spanish LaLiga giants a first-leg advantage ahead of the return leg next week.https://urbanexpresslive.com/epl-why-gary-neville-gives-arsenal-only-condition-to-win-title-ahead-of-man-city/
However, according to OptaJoe, the outcome of the match means Guardiola has now suffered his joint-heaviest defeat in the first leg of a UEFA Champions League knockout stage tie, along with 3-0 defeats to Barcelona in the 2014-15 semi-finals and Liverpool in the 2017-18 quarter-finals.
Guardiola’s men will now shift their attention to the Premier League as they prepare to face West Ham United this weekend.
