It also marks Man City’s first trophy this season but they still are eligible to complete a treble. City still plays Manchester United in a derby final for the FA Cup on June 3rd. More notably, the club has advanced to the Champions League finals for just the second time. City will face Italian giants Inter on June 10th in Istanbul.
Extraordinarily, The Cityzens have not lost in the Premier League since February 5th. Since then they have gone 14 Premier League matches in a row undefeated. To no one’s surprise, Erling Haaland led the way to City’s Premier League title. The Norwegian international has scored 36 goals to date, owning the Premier League record for goals scored in a single season. Kevin De Bruyne’s Premier League season will not go unnoticed either though. De Bruyne has registered 23 goal contributions this season and scored twice in a recent fixture versus Arsenal that turned the tides in the title race.
Chelsea interim manager Frank Lampard confirmed they will give City a guard of honour when they face off on May 20th.
