Manchester City’s domination of English football continues. After the 2020-2021, 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 seasons, the Skyblues have once again won. Uncompromising in the final sprint, the Mancunian club is therefore champion of England for the tenth time in its history. Long in the fight with Liverpool – author of some poor performances in recent weeks – and especially Arsenal, Pep Guardiola’s men have never let down their guard and end this exercise with 91 points on the clock.
The most prolific attack in the championship and second best defense, Manchester City thus validates, a little more, its national supremacy. Eliminated at the gates of the last four of the Champions League by Real Madrid, the residents of the Etihad Stadium could even offer themselves a double in the event of victory against Manchester United in the Cup final, on May 25 at Wembley. Quickly in the top places in the Premier League this season, Phil Foden’s teammates nevertheless had to fight, weekend after weekend, to get rid of Arsenal on the gong.
A sparkling offensive sector…
If the Gunners showed good resistance, Manchester City finally had 10 consecutive victories at the end of the season. A season where the Citizens will once again have been able to count on the considerable contribution of Erling Haaland, top scorer in the Premier League with 27 goals. In the wake of the Norwegian striker, Phil Foden will end the year with 19 goals. Finally, among the great architects of this new coronation, Manchester City can also thank Kevin de Bruyne.
Despite a season marked by injury, the Belgian attacking midfielder largely contributed to his team’s success with 18 goals and 6 goals in 24 matches in all competitions. In addition to its offensive weapons, City also relied on defensive solidity, like Josko Gvardiol once again imperial in the central hinge of the Skyblues. At the head of this brilliant collective, Pep Guardiola will have, finally, perfectly managed his troops to resist the pressure and offer himself a new title. The 35th in the club’s history.
