Man City players celebrate Premier League title triumph

The Manchester City squad gathered together on Saturday to celebrate the moment they became Premier League champions.

City had expected to need three points against Chelsea at the Etihad on Sunday to seal the title but Nottingham Forest’s 1-0 win over Arsenal meant they could no longer be caught atop the table without even kicking a ball.

Forest celebrated the result as it ensured their safety in the English top flight, but the City squad had their own reasons to celebrate.

A serial winner across his time with both Barcelona and Bayern Munich, Pep Guardiola’s trend of racking up silverware has not stopped in England.

Since joining City in 2016, Guardiola has lifted no fewer than 12 major honours, including five Premier League titles. Never before has the boss won a single competition so many times.

With five title victories, the Premier League overtakes the Carabao Cup as Guardiola’s favourite competition. City won the trophy four times consecutively 2017 and 2021.

City’s trophy cabinet also contains two Community Shields from the Guardiola era, while the 2018/19 FA Cup trophy is also proudly on display.

Guardiola may even have a further two titles to add to his CV before the season comes to an end. City are in the finals of both the FA Cup and Champions League and are favourites to come out on top in both, against Manchester United and Inter respectively, to secure what would be a famous treble.
