Liverpool's 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League final on Saturday night ensured that Manchester City pipped them to another achievement this season.
The blank Jurgen Klopp's side drew in Paris meant that they scored 147 goals in all competitions this season, three fewer than the 150 that City put away. Pep Guardiola's side were therefore crowned Europe's top scorers, some achievement given that for large swathes of the season they played without a traditional striker.
When City failed in their bid to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham last summer and went into the season without an out-and-out number nine, the narrative for the season was set.
