“Thank you, Arsenal”… Man City, EPL early win confirmed

Manchester City (Man City) of the English Premier League (EPL) has confirmed its early victory and embarked on a full-fledged challenge to achieve the ‘Treble’.

Manchester City confirmed this season’s champion regardless of the remaining games as Arsenal lost 0-1 in the 2022-2023 EPL round 37 match between Arsenal and Nottingham Forest held at The City Ground in Nottingham, England on the 21st. Arsenal, with one game left in the regular league, remained at 81 points, unable to catch up with Man City (85 points), who had three games left.

With this, Man City tasted the joy of winning three consecutive seasons with the seventh championship in EPL history. Since the launch of the EPL, Manchester City has won three league titles in a row, following Manchester United (from the 2006-2007 season to the 2008-2009 season). In particular, Man City coach Pep Guardiola has led Man City to five league championships since taking the baton in February 2016, solidifying his position as a mastermind.

In addition, ‘Monster’ Elling Hollan scored 36 regular league goals in his debut season in the EPL and reserved the top scorer spot, becoming the number one contributor to the team’s victory. Midfielder Kevin Debrawiner is also likely to be the assist king with 16 assists.

Man City’s goal, which has won three league titles in a row, is now to achieve the treble. Man City has reached the finals of both the FA Cup and the European Football Federation Champions League (UCL) this season. Manchester City’s opponent in the FA Cup final (June 3, local time) is Manchester United, and the opponent in the UEFA Champions League final (June 10, local time) is Inter Milan (Italy). Man City, who has yet to win the UCL, has a good opportunity to achieve the treble with the first European champion this time.
