- When Pep Guardiola was lured to Manchester City in 2016 the club’s Abu Dhabi owners did so convinced the Spaniard was the man to lead them to Champions League glory.
Guardiola was not mortified by an agonising Champions League quarter-final defeat by Tottenham Hotspur which stopped City’s pursuit of an unprecedented quadruple in its tracks. As impressive as that was, however, Guardiola’s follow-up season will give him more satisfaction after City edged out Liverpool by 98 points to 97 — the second and third largest points hauls in the Premier League era.
However, while City still banged in 95 goals and produced displays of pure fantasy football, this title — Guardiola’s eighth after three La Liga and three Bundesliga crowns with Barcelona and Bayern Munich respectively — was as much about sheer persistence and handling pressure. On a day of destiny, and with Liverpool winning at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers, it could have spooked teams of lesser resolve. Instead City responded in ruthless fashion to snuff out Liverpool’s hopes of a first title since 1990.
“We don’t have one player who makes the difference, we have to do it as a team. That is the secret. We push each other, I push myself, they push me.”
