Pep Guardiola's miserable Champions League knockout record away from home took a turn for the worse as Manchester City were thumped by Liverpool at Anfield on Wednesday night.

In 24 away ties in the latter stages of the competition, Guardiola has won only five times in 10 years.

It is a shocking record for a man who has won the competition twice with Barcelona, and took Bayern Munich to the semi-finals three years in a row.

Manchester City were humbled 3-0 by Liverpool at Anfield on Wednesday night

Mohamed Salah, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sadio Mane were on target as a first-half burst from Jurgen Klopp's side proved too much for the visitors.

The Premier League leaders have an enormous task on their hands to overturn the three-goal deficit at the Etihad Stadium next week.

In 24 games Guardiola's sides have scored 27 times and conceded 32. They have tasted nine defeats and drawn on 10 occasions.

The Spaniard's away record in Europe is not a new phenomenon, either. He had to wait until his eighth game to register a first win - at Shakhtar Donetsk in April 2011.

Later that month he recorded perhaps his most famous away victory in Europe, a 2-0 win over Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

He suffered a heavy 3-1 defeat at Inter Milan in 2010, as Mourinho inspired the Italian club to just their second triumph in the competition.

And at Bayern Munich he suffered seismic defeats at the hands of Real Madrid and Barcelona in 2014 and 2015.

A 4-0 thrashing of Basle in February appeared to hint at better times for Guardiola, after seeing his side lose 3-1 away at Monaco a year earlier.

But the events of Wednesday night at Anfield suggest this serious blot on Guardiola's copy book isn't about to change for the better anytime soon.
