Manchester City have been crowned 2021/22 Premier League Champions - retaining the title and marking an impressive fourth Premier League trophy in five seasons. It also sees Pep Guardiola lift his 11th major honour since becoming City manager in 2016. The Club have won three Premier League titles for a second successive season, with the first-team triumph added to Premier League 2 and Under-18s Premier League successes. In City's 38 matches this season, they have won 29, drawn six and lost three, scoring 99 goals in the process.
City have once again shown remarkable consistency this term, with the squad regularly rotated throughout the season and every player contributing significantly to this success. Their exceptional form this season continues a trend seen over the past five campaigns. In the 190 Premier League matches City have played during the last half decade, they have won 146, taken 458 points and scored a remarkable 485 goals.
The Club will celebrate its victory with fans with an open-top bus parade in Manchester city centre on Monday 23rd May, concluding with a stage show at Deansgate (Beetham Tower).
Ahead of lifting the Premier League trophy in his final game for the Club, Manchester City captain, Fernandinho, added: "To finish my nine years at City by winning my fifth Premier League title is a dream come true.
"This squad is genuinely special. The togetherness of the players is like nothing I have experienced before. These guys are my brothers, which makes winning the title even more special.
"I want to thank Pep and all the backroom staff we have here. As players, we are given everything we need to be successful. The support we get to ensure we go onto the pitch in the best possible condition is amazing and without it there is no way we could have won the title.
"To have won this trophy four times in five years really is amazing. Everyone knows the Premier League is the most competitive in world football, but we have shown consistency over a long period. That is testament to what City have built.
"I am leaving this summer, but I am very confident City will be successful again in the future.
"This Club is fantastic and so are our fans, who have been with us every step of the way. Without them by our side, there is no way we can do what we have done these past five seasons. We have felt their energy and it has driven us on."
