Manchester City's 4-0 loss at Everton on Sunday was Pep Guardiola's biggest defeat in domestic league action in a managerial career which has also seen him boss Barcelona and Bayern Munich with distinction and success. Here, PA Sport looks at some of Guardiola's biggest losses as a manager. Bayern Munich 0-3 Borussia Dortmund -- Bundesliga; April 12, 2014 Bayern, already champions, suffered successive losses in the Bundesliga for the first time in two and a half years, since Nov. 2011. Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Marco Reus and Jonas Hofmann scored for Dortmund. Bayern Munich 0-4 Real Madrid -- Champions League semifinal second leg; April 29, 2014 Sergio Ramos scored twice and Cristiano Ronaldo added another as Real raced to a 3-0 half-time lead.

Wolfsburg 4-1 Bayern Munich -- Bundesliga; Jan. 30, 2015 Bas Dost and Kevin De Bruyne each scored twice as Bayern suffered a first meaningful loss in more than two years. Guardiola's side were poor on the resumption following a six-week winter break. It didn't stop Bayern from winning the title before Guardiola left for Manchester. Barcelona 4-0 Manchester City -- Champions League; Oct. 19, 2016 It was the sort of drubbing Guardiola's Barca used to inflict on others, but this time the former midfielder was on the other end. Lionel Messi scored a hat trick and Neymar added a fourth, while Claudio Bravo was sent off against his former club.
