Are Manchester City the best ever Premier League team?

They clinched the silverware 24 hours later thanks to Albion forward Jay Rodriguez’s 73rd minute header at Old Trafford. Manchester United seemed to have the monopoly on it at one point, with Blackburn Rovers the only blip, until Arsenal turned up to create the best rivalry of the generation, then Chelsea won it, next Manchester City joined the party and finally Leicester shocked everyone with their win.

Soon after the ADUG takeover, club’s chief executive Garry Cook was quoted saying “China and India are gagging for football content to watch and we’re going to tell them that City is their content”.

His City contract expires at the end of next season but the club are confident he will extend for at least one extra year.

They have dominated the title race, scoring 93 goals and losing just twice.

“But you go through all of City’s team and he has improved every player”.

Come the final of day of the season, City’s year could be considered in the same breath as Arsenal’s 2003-’04 team, Chelsea’s 2004-’05 team or Manchester United’s 1998-’99 Treble winners. City captain Vincent Kompany led the celebrations, tweeting: “Champions!”

And that is why, strictly in terms of achievement, Pep’s team’s place in the pantheon of English champions is now not an overly-elevated one.

City are also within reach of records for most wins (City 28; record is 30); most away wins (City 14; record is 15) and most away points (City 44; record is 48).

The City manager gave his players three days off following their win over Tottenham on Saturday, with the squad due back at the club’s training ground on Wednesday.

The England global scored one against Spurs and won a penalty in a man-of-the-match display, but missed two glaring chances and his prowess in front of goal has always been his weakness.

Here, Press Association Sport looks at the landmarks already achieved by Pep Guardiola’s side and those still within their sights. A 3-2 home loss to United in the derby denied City the chance to win the league in record time — with six games left — but Guardiola’s team only had to wait another week. Now, driven on by stars Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling and David Silva, Guardiola’s men can focus on establishing themselves among the Premier League’s all-time great teams. All three games finished 2-1, and it revived memories of the winning goals scored in so-called “Fergie Time” by Manchester United’s trophy-winning teams under Alex Ferguson. I’m sure they are differences to how we play today compared to Bayern and Barcelona, we survive and live by the strength of the team.

They sang songs, took selfies, and clearly had a good time.
