If Manchester City were to finish sixth in any league these days, it would be a disappointment.
However, one table released this month shows that City are sitting pretty behind five domestic and European rivals when it comes to their spending, and undermines one of the main criticisms often aimed at the Blues - as well as supporting a key point that Pep Guardiola has been trying to make.
The Deloitte Money League for 2021/22 saw City come first for a second year in a row for their £619.1million generated, including a Premier League record of almost £330m in commercial revenue. It was a marked increase on last year's revenue of £571.1m, and shows the progress being made off the field as well as the continued success on it.
