One of the most intense title chases in the English Premier League has concluded. “The son of a king becomes a king,” Man City once again brought grief for Arsenal by defeating away team West Ham in the final round to win the championship in the 2023/24 season in a stunning fashion. Coach Pep Guardiola and his team have won their fourth title in a row. Obviously, in the Premier League, Green Man remains the undisputed champion.
In comparison to winning the “treble” last season, Manchester City performed more flatly and less impressively in 2023/24. Despite not being at their prime, the blue half of Manchester is still excellent and daring enough to defeat their opponents and win the championship. To put it simply, Manchester City’s journey to successfully defend the championship this season resembles that of striker Erling Haaland.Haaland was also highly impressive last season, scoring 52 goals across all competitions. However, in the 2023/24 season, he performed much less well, to the point where former MU player Roy Keane characterized him as “only on par with the ‘level’ of a player playing in the Fourth Division”. Despite his detractors and heated disputes, the Norwegian footballer was named “Top Scorer” this season.Manchester City did not perform very well in the first leg of the 2023/24 season. The sluggishness of coach Pep Guardiola and his club gives opportunities for Arsenal and Liverpool to rise. Thanks to this, football fans in the foggy country can watch a very appealing “three-horse race” to the English Premier League championship.We’d like to point out that Man City was not the top team at the end of the first half of the season. Liverpool won the first half of the season. Specifically, Jurgen Klopp’s club had 42 points after 19 rounds, while the blue half of Manchester trailed by 5 points and ranked fourth. Manchester City is even behind Arsenal and the “phenomenon” Aston Villa.From then until round 33, when they crushed away team Luton 5-1, Man City returned to first place in the 2023/24 English Premier League. Following that, they completed a “miraculous” sprint with nine straight victories to win the Premier League championship. On their way to the final line, coach Pep Guardiola’s battle-hardened troops surmounted all hurdles, including triumphs over very difficult opponents like Aston Villa and Tottenham…d.Surely there will be many neutral football lovers who feel sorry for Arsenal, when the London capital team cannot win the Premier League championship this season to end a thirst that has lasted for the past 2 decades. To be honest, the Gunners have progressed significantly since last season. But coach Mikel Arteta’s army has not yet made enough breakthroughs to end Man City’s dominance. Almost the same scenario as last season, they were still a bit weak in the acceleration phase in the second half of the season. The difference is that this time, they raced with Green Man until the final round.It can be affirmed that, under the guidance of coach Pep Guardiola, Man City is unrivaled. His football style that focuses on gaining control of the ball is still making the entire Premier League kneel in submission. Liverpool’s rise or Arsenal’s efforts to rise are just slices to add to the greatness of the Etihad Stadium team. It must be remembered that this season’s championship brings Pep Guardiola’s total number of Premier League crowns to 6, thereby making him one of the greatest coaches in the history of the tournament.\Man City’s dominance will likely continue in the 2024/25 season, even in many subsequent seasons. Because looking across the foggy country right now, only Arsenal is fortunate enough to be able to make things difficult for coach Pep Guardiola and his team. As for Liverpool, after the departure of Jurgen Klopp, it will probably take a long time to adapt, and then it can consider returning to the championship race.
