Read our privacy policy Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola sent his congratulations to former club Bayern Munich after they won the Club World Cup on Thursday - and delivered a cheeky reminder that he already achieved the impressive feat of claiming a sextuple. Guardiola, who managed Bayern between 2013 and 2016, also racked up six trophies in a year while managing Barcelona, winning La Liga, the Copa del Rey, Champions League, both Super Cups and the Club World Cup in 2009. “Big congratulations to all the Bayern family for this incredible success, to be the Club World Cup champions and especially to win six six titles,” he said. They face Italian side Lazio in the last 16 of the Champions League - while Pep’s City, five points clear at the top of the Premier League, play German side Borussia Monchengladbach.
