Ten into the semi-finals! Pep Guardiola's first Champions League double in history
After eliminating Bayern to advance to the semi-finals, this is the third consecutive season since the 2020-21 season that Manchester City has advanced to the semi-finals. But for Guardiola, the Spanish coach has created a record. He became the first coach to lead the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League ten times.
