Manchester City have done the job, just about.
Their remarkable 3-2 comeback victory over Aston Villa on Sunday ensured that the Premier League title is theirs for a fourth time in five seasons, ending Liverpool’s hopes of a remarkable quadruple in the process.
While Liverpool will now turn their full focus to the Champions League final as they look to secure a third trophy of the campaign, Pep Guardiola will look to build on his side’s domestic dominance heading into next season.
Erling Haaland’s impending arrival is a strong start to doing just that, and City will have another go at the Champions League next term too with the Norway forward leading their line – the issue of playing without a “proper” number nine finally put to bed.
Had Guardiola and City got their way in 2021, they would have had a striker for this season, too, but Tottenham did not budge on their valuation of Harry Kane.
Yet that lack of a natural centre forward has ultimately not proved costly, and here, Stats Perform looks at the key moments behind City’s title success.
