Reaching a milestone 250 Premier League wins is an achievement that requires a special kind of celebration.

Following Manchester City's narrow 1-0 victory against Brentford, Guardiola now joins an elite group of managers who have reached this milestone with one club.

Just Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger had previously achieved this distinction - and Guardiola has conceived the perfect celebration with these football legends.

"It's an honour to be alongside Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, I will invite them to a good dinner," said the Spaniard, who is in his 10th campaign with City.

"Being part of Premier League history brings me great joy, absolutely thrilled. Let's target 250 additional wins."

Record-Breaking Achievement

Having taken 349 top-flight matches to reach the landmark, Guardiola managed it in record time - 55 games quicker than Ferguson (404) with Wenger (424) next.

While David Moyes has also accumulated 250 Premier League victories, he accomplished this across different club tenures.

Guardiola has joined a list of 16 other bosses to reach the tally in the history of the English top flight, including Bill Shankly (Liverpool), Matt Busby (Manchester United) and Brian Clough (Nottingham Forest).

Unprecedented Winning Streak

Under his leadership since 2016, Guardiola has guided City to six league titles, one European Cup, two domestic cups and four league cups.

They became just the second side to achieve a historic Treble when they won the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup in 2023.

The 2017-18 campaign saw City make history as the first club to reach 100 points in a single season, winning 32 matches, and they remain the sole team to capture four consecutive Premier League championships.

Revolutionary Impact

"He stands as one of the finest managers in football history," stated ex-City player Micah Richards.

"Discussing Guardiola involves more than victories - it's about his winning methodology, his transformation of football, the tiki-taka philosophy."

"A lot of people said it wouldn't work when he first came and that first season was a little bit of a disappointment by his standards - but ever since then they've just taken the game to new heights."

"Achieving four consecutive Premier League titles represents absolutely phenomenal performance."

Numerical Superiority

The club has exceeded 90 points in four separate seasons during Guardiola's reign - an impressive accomplishment considering this threshold had only been crossed five times in total before his appointment.

Guardiola's remarkable 71.6% win rate surpasses all other managers in league history, exceeding both Ferguson's 65.2% and Conte's 62.9%.

Throughout his 349 Premier League appearances, Guardiola's teams have netted 842 times while allowing only 299 goals.

Although contracted with City through 2027, speculation continues regarding Guardiola's long-term plans.

However, his transformative effect on English football remains undeniable.
