Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says his team becoming 2020/21 Premier League champions has been the hardest of the three titles he has won with the club.
A fifth title for Man City was confirmed after Manchester United were beaten at home by Leicester City to go 10 points adrift of the leaders with only three matches to play.
It means City are now the joint-second most successful club in the competition’s history, having matched Chelsea’s five PL Trophies. Only Man Utd, with 13, have won more.
“This has been a season and a Premier League title like no other,” Guardiola told the club’s official website. “This was the hardest one.
“We will always remember this season for the way that we won. I am so proud to be the manager here and of this group of players.”
City claimed the title despite being eighth on Christmas, the joint-lowest a side have been at that stage of a season before going on to lift the trophy.
