Manchester City did not even need to play to be proclaimed champion of the 2022/2023 Premier League. The defeat of Arsenal at the City Ground (1-0) provides the Mancunian team the ninth league title in its history, the fifth in six years and the third consecutive. The goals of Erling Haaland, the revelations of Nathan Aké or Manuel Akanji, the consecration of Rodri Hernández, the step forward of Jack Grealish, the conversion of John Stones or the appearance of Julián Álvarez allowed the skyblues come back up to eight points behind after 29 games played.

With the 2022/2023 Premier League, in which they could again exceed 90 minutes if they win the remaining three games, The one from Sampedor has won 11 of the 15 league titles he has played as coach.
Up to 10 are the players who already add five Premier League with Manchester City: Ederson, Kyle Walker, John Stones, Aymeric Laporte, Fernandinho, İlkay Gündoğan, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden and Sergio Agüero. And it is that the season finale of the painting citizen squandered Arsenal’s chances of winning the English league. Eleven consecutive victories (full in March, April and, to date, May) and 13 games without defeat has been an unbearable rhythm for Mikel Arteta’s men. You just have to look back and see how Liverpool had to score 99 points in 2019/2020 to snatch the league championship from Pep Guardiola’s men.
Manchester City will thus be able to celebrate the Premier League title with their own.
