Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola has, on Saturday, etched his name ever further into the history books of world football.
Guardiola, of course, guided his side into their biggest outing of the season a short time ago.
Amid an ongoing pursuit of a first treble in club history, Man City made the trip to Istanbul, for a Champions League final showdown with Italian giants Inter Milan.
And, when all was said and done, march on to history is precisely what the Sky Blues managed.
A solitary goal ultimately proved the difference come the full-time whistle at the Ataturk Stadium, netted in fine fashion by Rodri midway through the 2nd-half:

As alluded to above, though, whilst it proved a special, special night for Manchester City as a collective, it also proved a career-defining one for boss Pep Guardiola on an individual basis.
The benchmark in question? Guardiola is now the first manager to ever secure the treble with two different clubs, after also doing so with Barcelona back in 2009.
1 – Pep Guardiola has won the treble for the second time in his managerial career, while he’s the first ever manager to do so with two different clubs (Barcelona in 2008-09 and Manchester City in 2022-23). Greatness. #UCLFinal pic.twitter.com/Yn4YcLOFNG
