Manchester City became the first team in the history of English football to win four league titles. Here are some of the inspirational moments along the way
With great difficulty, Manchester City have confirmed this year. "Sometimes you do sit there and think how can you ever top last year?" Jack Grealish admitted in April. "Will any happiness ever come close to that?"
In many ways, it felt like a new chapter for Pep Guardiola's side with fresh blood coming into the side in young players Josko Gvardiol and Jeremy Doku while Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez took additional responsibility to pull the team through some difficult months.
Guardiola took a swipe at how Liverpool's Carabao Cup triumph was reported given it was seen as a minor trophy when he won it four times in a row, and City have used such lesser priorities to build for the big ones. Having criticised the team for a silly collapse at home to Crystal Palace in the last league game before they flew out to Jeddah, on the plane back the manager overheard the players talking tactics for their next game against Everton and knew their focus was better.
Rodri, the best player in the league, set a new record for games unbeaten in all competitions in a streak that now stretches 74 games. It is no coincidence that the only three league defeats of the campaign came when he was suspended.
