Manchester City have now matched their fierce Premier League rivals, Manchester United, for the longest unbeaten streak in UEFA Champions League history.
This remarkable feat was accomplished after Pep Guardiola’s side triumphed over Slovan Bratislava in their Champions League encounter on Tuesday night.
Before the game against Slovan Bratislava, the Cityzens were just one game away from equalling the record set by Manchester United.

That record saw the Red Devils go on a 25-game unbeaten run in the competition between 2007 and 2009, a stretch that solidified their dominance at the time under Sir Alex Ferguson.
It was a record many thought might stand for a long time, but now Manchester City, under the guidance of Pep Guardiola, have caught up, showing just how far they’ve come on the European stage in recent years.
The 4-0 win over Slovan Bratislava featured goals from Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden, Erling Haaland, and James McAtee, sealing a comfortable victory for the reigning Premier League champions. Each of these players played a crucial role in ensuring City’s place in the history books, with their clinical performances on the night.
City now have an opportunity to go beyond their city rivals and set a new record when they face Sparta Praha on October 23. If they can avoid defeat in that fixture, they will stand alone as the team with the longest unbeaten run in the UEFA Champions League.
