Pep Guardiola’s Man City are the Premier League champions - (2025)

Updated: 19/01/2025

Manchester City were crowned Premier League champions on Tuesday, May 11th night, for the third time in four seasons following Manchester United's 2-1 defeat to Leicester City.

Pep Guardiola's side are on 80 points from their 35 Premier league outings and are 10 points clear of second placed United, having wrapped up the title with three games to spare.

Of the key players who have influenced City title-winning effort is Ruben Dias who has transformed the side's defense and helped by some solid support from John Stones at the back.

Even with the prolonged absence of their record goalscorer Sergio Aguero through injury, the City attack had sufficient riches to fall back on.

Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez made up for Aguero's absence with goals galore from some lethal finishing, while dynamic wing-back Joao Cancelo wreaked havoc with his bursts down the flanks.

After the exits of City stalwarts like Vincent Kompany, David Silva and Yaya Toure in recent years, Guardiola managed to produce a new generation of players who could reign supreme in the years to follow.

With the Premier League and EFL Carabaso Cup in the bag this season, Guardiola can now focus on completing a memorable treble by handing his club a first Champions League title on May 29th.

The 50-year-old Spaniard has not won the tournament since the time he led Barcelona to the title in 2011.

The Gulf riches helped the side acquire top talent from all over and the results were there to see as City bagged 5 Premier League titles within a span of a decade starting with the 2011-12 season.

Meanwhile it’s party-time for rejoicing City fans.
