Guardiola won his one and only Super Cup as a player in the 1992 edition as Barcelona beat Werder Bremen 3-2 on aggregate in a two-legged final. He then claimed his first two as a coach with the Catalan giants as Barcelona beat Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 in 2009 and Porto 2-0 in 2011.
The Spaniard took over at Bayern München in 2013 and quickly won the Super Cup with a 5-4 penalty shoot-out win over Chelsea following a 2-2 draw after extra time.
After a ten-year wait, Guardiola has now won the competition once more following another triumph against Sevilla, making City the 25th club to lift the trophy.
