In the 2022-23 season, Manchester City, in six years, clinched their fifth Premier League title in a manner that sent dismay among the teams intending to unseat Guardiola’s magnificent champions. The Citizens retained their top spot after outmaneuvering their closest contenders, Arsenal, who were also gunning to take the Premier League’s top spot.
The previous season showed the City’s ravenous appetite for success. Currently, the team’s yearning to sustain supremacy is still growing, and they seem to get better every time. Therefore, as we wait to see their incredible performance in the ongoing 2023-24 season, let’s review their champion mentality in the Premier League.
Can Other Teams Survive Man City’s Relentless Pressure?
This team has earned a trademark for breaking the strongest rivals with its relentless aptitude to exert pressure. Last season, Man City achieved a 24-game unbeaten run in all competitions to clinch the Premier League and beat Manchester United at the FA Cup at Wembley. City’s continuous accomplishments have also devastated the psychology of their opponents, and this gives them an advantage in every match.
For instance, their peers like Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool always dread every time they step onto the pitch against them. In most cases, the best they can get is merely a draw. Even though Arsenal beat the Citizen on penalties at the FA Community Shield final in early August, the ‘relentlessness’ of Man City has made the team a favorite to its many fans as well as to many bettors. This team now commands higher odds than most Premier League teams in major sports betting platforms like Betway.
The Citizens Making History
Manchester City is also creating a legacy worth recording in Premier League’s history. This team has won the Premier League in 3 consecutive seasons, a record last obtained by Manchester United in 2006-07, 2007-08, and 2008-09. Moreover, the team went further and emulated Manchester United’s 1999 historic feat when they secured the Premier League Title, FA Cup, and the Champions League by beating Inter Milan 1-0.
This team is an unstoppable football juggernaut that is hard to unseat from the top of the Premier League. Its entry in the 2023-24 season started on a high note after Erling Haaland scored a barely 4-minute goal against the new entrants Burnley. This season seems to be another chapter in Manchester City’s ongoing legacy as Pep Guardiola continues to unleash his tactical prowess and coaching genius on the team.
Man City Remains the Team to Beat
Manchester City remains a difficult team to beat in the 2023-24 season. The team started this season with an emphatic 3-0 victory against Burnley at Turf Moor. This impressive win reminded Man City’s rivals of its brilliance and formidable scoring power.
Undoubtedly, this team is prepared to relentlessly battle for this season’s Premier League title with its highly-rated football stars, such as J Alvarez, R Rodri, and E Haaland. The presence of Pep Guardiola is also enough to send shivers down the spine of all City’s rivals. This coach is a great asset to the team, and his track record of excellence in football coaching is renowned globally. However, at the moment, all we can do is wait for time to tell how Man City will perform this season.
