Cesc Fabregas believes that tonight’s match is not going to affect Pep Guardiola’s status as being among the best managers within the enterprise.

Manchester City can write themselves into the historical past books with a victory over Inter Milan, which is able to see them clinch the treble.

They will develop into the most recent English membership to attain such a feat since Sir Alex Ferguson guided Manchester United to that degree of success in 1999.

Asked by BT Sport whether or not successful the treble would make Pep Guardiola the best supervisor of all-time, Fabregas replied: “Well, that’s a tough one, but I would think so because for me he already is! No disrespect to anybody else, because obviously what Fergie did in ’99 and throughout his career, and many other coaches I haven’t seen in my time.

“But the way he [Guardiola] changed football, the way he sees football, the way us players have fun on a daily basis by being coached by him. So I think this matters at the same time, because it’s not only just about winning. It’s about the process, it’s about what’s happening through this pathway that comes along the way and I think he ticks all the boxes in that.”
