Tonight was another special night in the Champions League and it was one in which several records were set.
The first relates to Pep Guardiola, who took charge of his 150th UEFA Champions League game tonight, becoming only the fifth manager to reach the milestone in the competition.
The Man City boss celebrated the achievement with a 2-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund, which saw two wonderful goals from John Stones and Erling Haaland.
