The defending Premier League champions clinched the club’s seventh ever title with with Arsenal’s 1–0 loss to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, continuing their reign of dominance in English soccer that has sustained since manager Pep Guardiola joined in 2016.

From the time of the Spaniard’s arrival in Manchester, City has won five league titles (and finished second once), four League Cups and an FA Cup, experiencing unprecedented success in a league that was traditionally dominated by the club’s cross-town rivals, Manchester United.
