Depends how you measure it. There is an argument that this City team has been the best team in the World for the last year so we can only match that.
We could improve while still being the best team. We peaked last season with the home performance against Shaktar.
It will be difficult to improve on winning more trophies unless we can win the CL but the CL is a lottery after the group stage and the best team only wins it around 25% of the time.
So it’s going to be difficult to improve because the bar we have already set is ridiculously high. It helped that Liverpool pushed us a lot last season but the people thinking they had a lot of luck were correct. While still being by far the second best team in the PL their expected goals indicated they should have finished around 7 points behind us. That’s why I think we will win the PL again next season.
So I suppose winning the CL in other people’s eyes will do it but that might not actually mean we have improved as a team necessarily.
I’m such a geek.
