Pep eyes history

Josep Guardiola can become the most decorated coach in Barcelona's history when the reigning European champions take on FC Porto in Friday's UEFA Super Cup showpiece in Monaco.
Guardiola, 40, has needed just three years in charge of the club he represented with such distinction as a player to equal Johann Cruyff's record tally of 11 titles at the Camp Nou.
It is a remarkable statistic, and such is the Catalans' dominance of the European game right now that it would be a huge surprise if Guardiola was not celebrating title number 12 come Friday night at the Stade Louis II.
Of course, Barca have already won silverware this season, beating Real Madrid 5-4 on aggregate after two pulsating legs to claim the Spanish Super Cup.
The Spanish domestic season was due to begin last weekend until a strike by the players' union put paid to the entire opening round of fixtures, but the intensity of their double-header with Jose Mourinho's side helped the Catalans get into shape.
They were in fine fettle on Monday, hammering Napoli 5-0 in the annual Joan Gamper Trophy at the Camp Nou.
Now they head to the principality looking for a repeat of their Super Cup triumph in 2009, when Pedro scored the only goal of the game in extra-time to beat Shakhtar Donetsk.
