Manchester City confirmed this season’s champion regardless of the remaining games as Arsenal lost 0-1 in the 2022-2023 English Premier League (EPL) 37th round Arsenal-Nottingham Forest game held at The City Ground in Nottingham, England on the 21st. Arsenal (81 points), who had one game left until the end of the season with the defeat on this day, could not exceed the points of Man City (85 points), who had three games left, and the championship trophy became Man City’s for the third consecutive year.
Arsenal, who challenged to win the championship for the first time in 19 years after the 2003-2004 season, cried at the lack of support while running first until the second half of the season.
Since the launch of the EPL in 1992, only Manchester United (twice) has won the championship in three consecutive seasons, but Man City has been newly named. Manchester City have won the trophy five times in the last six seasons. This is also the same record as Manchester United, which won five times from the 1995-1996 season to the 2000-2001 season.
Man City’s ‘monster striker’ Erling Hollan has booked the Premier League top scorer spot early this season with 36 goals. Veteran Kevin Debrawiner is also likely to become the assist king with 16 assists. Since taking over the helm in February 2016, coach Pep Guardiola has led the team to five Premier League titles, solidifying its position as a mastermind. According to Spotrac.com, the total annual salary of Manchester City this season is 182.64 million pounds (about 302 billion won), the third highest among Premier League clubs after Chelsea (212 million pounds) and Manchester United (211 million pounds).
Man City’s goal is to achieve the treble (three crowns). Manchester City are currently in the FA Cup final and the European Champions League final. The FA Cup final will be held on June 3 and will be played against Manchester United. In the European Champions League final held on the 10th, the opponent to compete for the cup is Inter Milan (Italy). Man City is far ahead in terms of objective power, so there is a high possibility of winning all of them, so a third consecutive defeat is also a visible line. The last Premier League club to achieve the treble was Manchester United in 1999. Manchester City have reached the top of the FA Cup six times and have never won the Champions League. Man City swept the EPL, FA Cup, and League Cup in the 2018-2019 season, but since all competitions were held in Korea, a true treble was lacking.
