In the final round, Arsenal and Man City competed to win the title. In the end, there were no surprises, Man City won 3-1 against West Ham and decided their own fate. Because regardless of Arsenal winning, they are still 2 points ahead of their opponents, officially winning the Premier League for the 4th consecutive year.
Not only that, Pep Guardiola’s teachers and students also conquered unprecedented milestones. They have won the Premier League for the 6th time in the past 7 seasons. The only team that has broken Man City’s dominant position once is Liverpool.
Coach Guardiola’s team is also unbeaten at home this season. At Etihad, they had 14 wins and 5 draws. This is the only club in the Premier League 2023/24 that is unbeaten at home. They equaled Chelsea’s record of winning without losing at home in the 2004/05 and 2005/06 seasons.
Man City has not lost a match at the Etihad in the 2023/24 season
Arsenal topped the table in 30/38 rounds this season. But just losing to Aston Villa at home made all their efforts meaningless. The above detail shows how important the Etihad fulcrum is to the coronation journey of Pep Guardiola and his students.
With 4 consecutive championships, Man City has set a new record. They are the only team in Premier League history to win four consecutive seasons. Previously, MU under Sir Alex won the championship twice for 3 consecutive years. But Man City surpassed them. Even next season, Man City can completely deepen their record.
In terms of titles in English football history, Guardiola is on par with George Ramsay and Bob Paisley. All 3 coaches pocketed 5 Premier League trophies/English National Championships. Pep is only inferior to Sir Alex Ferguson, who has won the Premier League 13 times and he is the only coach who still hopes to chase Sir Alex.
In terms of clubs, Pep’s total number of national championship titles is 12 (3 La Liga, 3 Bundesliga, 6 Premier League), the most among those working in Europe’s top 5 national leagues. The person closest to him is only 6 (Max Allegri).
Pep is also the coach with the most wins and most points in his first 300 matches in charge in the Premier League. He won 221 matches compared to Jose Mourinho’s 189, Jurgen Klopp’s 188, Alex Ferguson’s 183 and Arsene Wenger’s 180. Pep earned 70 points more than other coaches in his first 300 matches.
