Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is confident in his team’s ability to be ranked among the best in English football history, considering their recent dominance in the Premier League. Guardiola’s prediction comes after City’s impressive performances over the past few seasons, which have seen them establish themselves as one of the top teams not only in England but also in Europe.
The Cityzens were recently named the FIFA Best Men’s Team of the Year following their remarkable 2022-23 campaign. They claimed victory over top European clubs such as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich en route to winning the UEFA Champions League. Domestically, they secured both the Premier League title and the Emirates FA Cup.
In addition to their treble-winning season, Guardiola’s side has already added two major trophies this season, winning the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup. Guardiola believes that City’s achievements merit their inclusion among the all-time best teams in English football history. Winning five Premier League titles in just six years is a significant accomplishment that Guardiola believes will be remembered for years to come.
Guardiola expressed his sentiments to The Sun, stating, “This team, winning five Premier Leagues and other titles, will be remembered. I absolutely wouldn’t say the best, because that would be unfair on many incredible teams. But we’ll be one of them – that’s for sure. So what we won and the way we played, we deserve to be one of the best three or best five teams of all time in England. And this is an honour and this is a privilege.”
City’s dominance in English football may continue this season as they remain in contention for the league title, trailing league leaders Liverpool by just three points. They are also in the semifinals of the FA Cup and the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, further solidifying their status as a top-tier team.
Overall, Guardiola’s optimism and confidence in his team’s ability to be ranked among the best in English football history reflect the incredible success Manchester City has achieved in recent years. With a strong squad and a winning mentality, City looks set to leave a lasting legacy in English football for years to come.
