Manchester City have been crowned champions of the 2022/23 Premier League season.
The Citizens went into the weekend knowing that a win over Chelsea on Sunday would be enough to secure the title, but as it turned out, they didn’t even have to play to seal their triumph as Arsenal fell to Nottingham Forest on Saturday. meant the Gunners could no longer climb back to top spot.
City, with three games to go, will lift the Premier League trophy on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola has now won five Premier League titles since moving to England and this is the seventh time City have lifted the trophy.
Despite entering the season as favorites to win the title, City looked destined for a top-four battle for the vast majority of the first half of the campaign as Arsenal began to run riot.
The Gunners were top of the table despite playing more games until the round of 32 fixtures, when a 4-1 defeat by City changed the narrative of the title race and ultimately brought a seventh title to the Etihad.
“As a manager I feel part of something,” Guardiola said before the weekend in an effort to share the praise. “Unconfused, I never think I own it. I’m a part of it, we can’t deny that.”
“Without the incredible decisions of the sporting director, the board, the players are the most important thing. To be close to victory in our hands again after last weekend, I’m really happy.”
