Pep Guardiola masterminded Manchester City's biggest ever Champions League win on Wednesday night when they faced Real Madrid in a glamour last-16 tie.
Isco put the hosts ahead early in the second half, but two goals in five minutes saw the Premier League champions run out 2-1 winners, securing their greatest European victory to date.
The victory in Madrid also delivered their boss a milestone of his own.

Before Wednesday night, he had been level on 27 wins with Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho, but now the Spaniard is alone out front.
