Manchester City have had their best year ever! What records has it broken?

No one underestimates Manchester City anymore, the team led by Pep Guardiola is generally perceived as one of the best in the world. But it is still waiting for the most important milestone, winning the Champions League. However, 2021 can easily be considered the best year in the club’s history. Why?

The line between a regular club and a big club is clear. Essentially, it can be said to be formed by the trophy for the Champions League winner, which can then be supplemented by trophies for the winners of the Club World Cup or UEFA Super Cup.

And that is what Manchester City lack, but no one can afford to say that this is not one of the best teams of recent years. In fact, it is quite the opposite. Moreover, the Citizens are still improving, and 2021 could be taken as the best year in the club’s history.

For one thing, Pep Guardiola’s charges won the Premier League and the League Cup, but for the first time they were actually close to winning the Eared Cup. In the Champions League, they reached the final but fell short to Chelsea. But did that upset the team? No, it didn’t. On the contrary.

The Citizens finished 2021 at the top of the Premier League, dominated their Champions League group quite comfortably and, especially on English soil, outperformed year after year.

Manchester City’s record in 2021

In 2021 alone, Manchester City collected 110 points in the Premier League, 27 more than second-placed Chelsea (83 points). This is the overall English record, previously held by Liverpool, who scored 107 points in 1982.

Manchester City also set a historic English record by winning 53 matches across all competitions in a calendar year. No team in the history of English football since 1888 has done that.

Another record is 36 Premier League wins in a calendar year, 19 away wins is also a new benchmark, 113 league goals scored is also a new milestone.

Manchester City also set a new record streak in English football, managing not to lose 28 games in a row across all competitions.

In short, the Citizens have had an excellent year and will be looking to build on it. Pep Guardiola deserves to finally win the Champions League for his excellent work. Will he be able to do it in 2022?
