Unmatched City

Phil Foden is one of those who will play a role in making City champions this season. He says - no one has won the upper division league four times, but City won, it is a great achievement.

Every time Manchester City doesn't win anything, Sir Alex Ferguson's words come to mind. When he was the coach of Manchester United, Ferguson said, "City is a noisy neighbor." It won't win anything big from what I can see in this season.'

Unmatched City

Now this saying is no more, it has become 'jokes'. Because this claim has been proven to be extremely false. Even Ferguson is now wondering why he had to say such nonsense.

Instead, what has started to be said is how much better City is now than Ferguson's United. We have to thank Pep Guardiola for this. After United have the task of beating City, Ferguson and Guardiola should also be watched. And there are those who say the same thing, Guardiola is better than Ferguson. One thing is certain, whether it is football or any other sport, it is not right to fight with someone.

Even if the time spent by him is different, this task is even more useless. However, because of the same claims that Ferguson once made, there will be more noise if City win. Ferguson didn't count other clubs in his time, he tried to beat City as much as possible. However, now both time and situation have changed. And yes, Guardiola is now arguably the greatest coach in modern football. He has a knack for weaving football strategies.

And the current City team he prepared is called the greatest team of all time, in the history of English football. Only one argument is sufficient for this. England is the birthplace of football. It has also been 136 years since the upper division league football started there. In the year 1888, the first league football started in England. Even during this long time, the same team has never won the top division football four times in a row.

So you know, winning the league may be easy, defending it is very difficult. But now City have done the unthinkable, like Ferguson. City have won the league title not once, not twice, but four times in a row, that too back to back. Recently, City comfortably beat West Ham 3-1 in the last league game of the season and once again claimed the league title.

Until the last day, there was only one doubt, maybe Arsenal will stop City? City had to win that game against West Ham anyway. Even won. Arsenal also won at Everton on the last day. But he couldn't beat City in the decider. City have a habit of putting in a performance on the opening day of the league that will impress some, but this time it will be others who win the league. City's early performances tend to be dusty.

But as the league heads towards the end, many feel there will eventually be someone who can push City aside. As the league draws to a close, City become more ruthless towards their opponents. Speaking of statistics, this is the sixth time City have won the league under Guardiola, in the space of seven seasons. In between, Liverpool only won the league once, otherwise how can winning the league six times in seven seasons be a lesser achievement? Where is the

? In these seven years, City has won the Club World Cup once and won the European Champions League. On top of that, the FA Cup twice and the League Cup four times. Today is also the FA Cup final. City have one more chance at Wembley to win the title, even if they beat United. As everyone knows, there are two clubs in the city of Manchester, United and City. For a long time, City seemed to be running out of time before United's series of successes.

Where was City when Ferguson's United won one title after another? City also played in a league below the Premier League at the time. But once City woke up, it was United's turn to weaken. Whatever United have won in that era, City have now surpassed everything. United's records in that era are now moving to City's. Now United can only envy City's achievements.

In 1998/1999, United won three titles in one season with great fanfare. It was a treble achievement, winning the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. At that time, Ferguson's United won the Premier League seven times in nine years. Before that, Liverpool were such a winning team. Liverpool won titles in English football in the seventies and eighties.

At that time, Liverpool won the league 10 times during 15 seasons, and won the European Cup four times. Not much of a

, in one season of 2003/2004, even Arsenal made a mess. Hell, it was so unique. Arsenal went on to win the league that season without losing a single game. The Arsenal team coached by Arsene Wenger is still proudly called 'Invincible'. Needless to say, that Arsenal team was also excellent in its own right.

But the current City team is really better than the old days of United, Liverpool and Arsenal. Currently, City are unbeaten in 35 matches across all competitions. This is also a record in itself since the start of the Premier League. This time too, City reached more than 90 points. This is the fourth time City have reached 90 points in the last seven seasons. Ferguson has only achieved this feat twice in his entire United career.

Phil Foden has been one of the biggest contributors to City's champions this season. He is right about his team. He said, until now no club could win the upper division league four times in a row, but now City have done the same. Then there is something special about it. Guardiola himself considers winning the league four times in a row to be great and says, if this job was easy, many people would do it, yes.
