Manchester City can celebrate the successful defense of their Premier League title a day earlier than expected. Because Arsenal also make a mistake in Nottingham, City is the champion prematurely.
Manchester City are English football champions for the ninth time. Because second-placed Arsenal FC lost 1-0 (0-1) at Nottingham Forest, the Cityzens can no longer take first place in the Premier League.
Coach Pep Guardiola’s side are four points clear of Arsenal, who have just one game left. City have three league games left. The home game against Chelsea on Sunday will be a championship celebration.
Arsenal lost at Nottingham Forest, which secured their place in the league, through a goal by Taiwo Awoniyi (19th minute). Bitter: The Londoners had led the Premier League table for almost the entire season, but showed nerves in the final sprint. In the last eight games, the team of former Guardiola assistant Mikel Arteta have only won twice. In contrast, defending champion City with striker Erling Haaland recently won eleven league games in a row, including the direct duel with Arsenal.
First of three possible titles for City
Manchester City’s fifth championship in six years is the first of three possible titles this season. On June 3, Pep Guardiola and his team will play in the FA Cup final against local rivals Manchester United. A week later, the final of the Champions League takes place in Istanbul, in which City meets Inter Milan.
After Manchester United in 1999, the Guardiola Club would only be the second football club from England to achieve the historic triple of league, cup and premier class. The Champions League handle pot is the trophy that City’s wealthy owners long for the most. The Cityzens, funded by Scheichs, have won all titles at national level, but have so far lacked international success.
