Manchester City’s season is almost perfect. In all, there were only seven defeats in the 59 matches played so far. Before the setback against Brentford last Sunday, the team had a 25-match unbeaten streak.
Now, the Spaniard accumulates 12 titles for Manchester City: five English Championships, one FA Cup, four English League Cups and two English Super Cups. Outside the English club, Guardiola won the Champions League twice, with Barcelonaand three Club World Cups, among others.
The count could increase even this season. Guardiola will have his second opportunity to conquer the Champions Leaguea tournament never won by Manchester City, on the next 10th, when they will face Inter Milan at the final. Before that, he will also be able to consecrate himself as champion of the FA Cup, for which he disputes the decision this Saturday, against Manchester United.
