The English Premier League title has been won by Manchester City for the fourth time in a row in a historic achievement. This was made possible through the skilled coaching of Pep Guardiola and the team's assembly using the abundant wealth of Abu Dhabi. The hard-fought campaign ended with a triumph over West Ham.
Even though Arsenal had a 2-1 win over Everton, they were unable to secure the title, as Manchester City was leading by two points. Arsenal managed to keep their opponent under pressure for most of the season but fell short in the last 45 minutes. They had to settle for second place on the leaderboard.
Mikel Arteta, Arsenal's coach, will receive acclaim for the title challenge. He elevated a group of affable youngsters with reinforcements, such as ex-West Ham ace midfield player Declan Rice, to provide them more fortitude and variety.
Guardiola has achieved one of the greatest feats in English football, which is a significant accomplishment. Fans in certain areas of the team's hometown will be especially pleased with this, since the greatest achievement of their arch-rival's former manager, Alex Ferguson, was only three successive wins.
Arsenal were aiming to win their first league title since 2004, and to become the first London team to win the top-tier division since Chelsea did so in 2017. Nevertheless, Manchester City were always seen as the frontrunners in the race. Although the competition was close, the Premier League made sure to send trophies and medals to all of the teams' stadiums.
Manchester City has achieved the title for the sixth time in just seven years. They had a remarkable five-month unbeaten streak in the Premier League, which has made local players Phil Foden, Joško Gvardiol and Rodri clear heroes in the eyes of the citizens.
The repeated success of City over the years has brought up concerns about the level of competition within the league. As a result, several teams have accepted competing for lower positions in Europe and within the league.
According to Guardiola, Manchester United and Chelsea have recently splurged more money than City, while Arsenal has also heavily pumped their funds into new players following their triumphant season.
The success of the Premier League team may be overshadowed by their alleged violation of financial regulations over a period of nine seasons. The verdict on Sheikh Mansour’s ownership of the club will be determined by an independent regulatory commission in the coming year and could potentially affect the reputation of the team.
Manchester City has consistently refuted any accusations of wrongdoing. The purported violations involve whether imprecise financial details were transmitted to the Premier League regarding the remuneration of players and coaches.
Arsenal has been performing exceptionally well lately, which would usually lead them to taking home a championship trophy. However, despite their impressive play, Manchester City's continual winning streak has kept them at the top. Nevertheless, the credit for Arsenal's consistent progress and reconstruction after the very victorious Arsène Wenger era can be attributed to their owner, the American sports giant, Stan Kroenke.
Before the final weekend of the season, Liverpool and Aston Villa both confirmed their spots in the Champions League, while Tottenham Hotspur secured a place in the Europa League by defeating Sheffield United with a score of 3-0.
On the opposite side of the league, it was confirmed that Luton Town, Sheffield United, and Burnley will be relegated. This demonstrated the challenging task that clubs with limited financial resources face when competing with the well-funded top clubs.
