Here are the five keys to how Pep Guardiola’s club hunted down Arsenal and captured the biggest prize in the English game with three games to spare
Manchester City has proved unstoppable once again.
A mind-blowing 36 goals, four hat tricks , scissor-kick acrobatics and a bunch of scoring records including the most goals in a 38-game or 42-game season. And Haaland could easily have gotten more had Pep Guardiola not chosen to bring the fearsome Norway striker off early at times to manage his fitness.
Joao Cancelo appeared to be the defender with the best skill-set to fulfill the hybrid position but, unhappy at dropping out of the team because of poor form and after reportedly clashing with Guardiola in training, the Portugal full back was allowed to join Bayern Munich. It was a brave call by Guardiola, given the importance of Cancelo in City’s buildup play in recent seasons, but it has been justified.
The reliability and consistency of Rodri as the holding midfielder and Guardiola’s brains on the field cannot be overstated. In fact, he has proved once again this season that he might be City’s most important player because of the way he shields the defense and starts attacks.
