This statistic about Pep Guardiola’s trophy-winning prowess will blow your mind

It's nearly too impressive

Darragh Murphy

So… that Pep Guardiola knows how to manage a football team eh?

The Spaniard shut up any haters he might have had when Bayern Munich overcame a 3-1 deficit against Porto to coast into the Champions League semi-finals.

And just a few days later, Guardiola saw his side crowned Bundesliga champions for the third consecutive season after Bayern scored a late winner over Hertha Berlin and Wolfsburg fall to Borussia Moenchengladbach, mathematically ensuring the title stays at the Allianz Arena.

And clever clogs @MisterChiping has revealed just how successful Guardiola has been in his managerial career by bringing this staggering stat to the table.

If you consider the fact that he has been in charge for 348 official games (247 Barca & 101 Bayern) and that he has won 19 titles in that time, that means that Pep Guardiola wins a title every 18 games.

Bloody crazy isn’t it?
