Raheem Sterling played a key role in Manchester City's 2-0 Carabao Cup semi-final win over crosstown rivals Manchester United last night - and reached a significant landmark in the process.
A threat all night down their right flank, City's joint-top scorer this season helped the Citizens reach their fourth consecutive League Cup final (they won the previous three v Arsenal, Chelsea and Villa respectively) in his 219th appearance under Pep Guardiola.
Sterling has notably scored 96 goals across all competitions during his time under Guardiola, but the stand-out statistic after City's win last night is that the England international has now featured in more games under the Spaniard than any player - eclipsing Barcelona legend Lionel Messi.
Check out the stat below for the full rundown of Pep's most used players during his trophy-laden tenures at Barca, Bayern Munich and City...unsurprisingly they're all decent footballers!
