Analysis: Tears flow as Guardiola departs

Manchester City players and supporters have experienced success like never before during Pep Guardiola’s tenure and there were few dry eyes around Etihad Stadium as the Spaniard called time on his reign. Guardiola has claimed numerous records in his 10 years, such as the first 100-point haul by an English top-flight side and being the first team to win the title four times in a row. Sunday afternoon provided one final opportunity to set another milestone as Guardiola went top of the list for most games in charge of City, surpassing Les McDowall’s record between 1950 and 1963.
