Analysis: Is this Man City team English soccer's greatest of all time? Here are the numbers

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — The numbers speak for themselves.

An unprecedented fourth-straight Premier League title for Manchester City. A sixth in seven seasons to further emphasize the club’s near-total dominance of the era.

A 17th trophy for City manager Pep Guardiola in eight years at the club — and that could rise to 18 if City beats Manchester United in next week’s FA Cup final. It’s a full set of major honors over that period, having won the Champions League for the first time last season.

Except for Liverpool in 2020, there has been no team in England’s top flight to touch City since Guardiola began his remarkable run by winning the title in 2018.

Guardiola had already led City to back-to-back titles in 2018 and ’19 with totals of 100 and 98 points before his run was ended by Liverpool. In 2021 City reclaimed the title and has been the dominant force in England ever since by becoming the first English team to win four-straight top flight titles.
