Headlines - 9 pts deduction for pitch invasion.
For sure, City must win their Champions League final against Inter of Milan in Istanbul next month if domestic achievements are not to lose some of their shine. Meanwhile, 115 Premier League charges remain outstanding. If some of those stick, we may start to look at much of this in a rather different way. History will judge City in an alternative light if they are proved to have gamed the league’s financial guidelines.
But until that day comes we will judge City by this, by what they do the field. This was consecutive Premier League win number twelve. During that run they have also beaten Bayern Munich and Real Madrid with terrifying comfort in Europe.
Are Guardiola’s City the best Premier League team we have ever seen? It’s almost impossible to say and while a treble of league, FA Cup and Champions League would bolster their case, it doesn’t really matter.
What they are right now is everything they always wanted to be. When the Abu Dhabi blueprint was drawn up back in early September of 2008, this is exactly what it looked like.

IAN LADYMAN AT THE ETIHAD: It has not been easy for Pep Guardiola and his team this season. Winning the league will never be that. But they have made it look so.www.dailymail.co.uk
'Journalism'?I dont know how you win 5 out of 6 PLs, 3 of which were done before the final day, and you still have people questioning your legacy.
Sports journalism has gone to shit.
what a fucking bitter twat
Did they mention how much the respective starting XIs cost?Oh look, bench money mention as soon as Sky finally decides to feature us, 15 minutes before kick off.
Any top team bench would cost that if they put all their 1st 11 on it
