A step closer to celebration

Despite losing to Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final a couple of weeks ago, there is still much to celebrate at Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola completed 300 games as City manager at the weekend. He has won 221 of them at a win percentage of 73.6%, which is far higher than any of the other league's coaches.

Rodri continues his incredible winning run in a City shirt. Sunday’s win over Nottingham Forest means it has been 449 days and 70 games since he has been on the losing side.

In previous seasons City have put together some impressive runs at the end of the season to ensure they go on to win the league title.

In 2019, they put together 14 consecutive wins. In 2022, they were unbeaten in their last 12 games. And in 2023, they went on a 12-game winning run.

City are on a 19-match unbeaten run at the moment.

With just four games to go, and with no Champions League distraction, there could be even more to celebrate by the end of the season with an unprecedented fourth league title in a row.
