Pep Guardiola reached 100 UEFA Champions League wins as a manager on Wednesday night.

The Manchester City boss got there in style by masterminding a 4-0 victory over Real Madrid in the second leg of their semi-final.

City will now play Inter Milan in the final after beating Real 5-1 on aggregate.

Guardiola is only the third manager to win a century of matches in Europe's Champions League.

Alex Ferguson was the first, after winning 102 UCL games with Manchester United between 1992 and 2012.

Carlo Ancelotti is the only other manager to win at least 100 UEFA Champions League matches.

Ancelotti, who was in charge of Real on Wednesday night, has also managed Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea, PSG, Bayern Munich and Napoli in Europe's top club tournament.

Meanwhile, Guardiola's 100 wins have been divided between spells with Barcelona, Bayern Munich and now City.
