Despite having to play catch-up to Arsenal, it was never really in any doubt they would win a fifth title in six seasons. They amassed 89 points, which was less than some of their recent title campaigns, and scored 94 goals.

In the end, they won the league by five points from the Gunners and that was with a bit of slacking off in the final week with the title settled.

Once Guardiola's side fully hit their stride after the turn of the year, you always suspected Arsenal would crumble under the pressure.Ĭity did not lose between February 5 and May 28, when on the final day they went down 1-0 to Brentford in a dead rubber. If City do it, there will be plenty of debate over which of the two teams was better.Ĭomparing different football eras is fraught with difficulty but we can certainly agree that City's Treble, if they do it, will be achieved in a very different way to United's.Ĭity simply stormed their way to the first leg of their possible Treble with 12 consecutive league wins to overhaul long-time leaders Arsenal.

Pep Guardiola's all-conquering side already have the Premier League and FA Cup in the bag and will party like it's 1999 if they beat Inter Milan in Saturday's Champions League final. He'd just witnessed his team score twice in stoppage time to stun Bayern Munich and add the Champions League to the Premier League and the FA Cup, completing a triple crown no English club had ever achieved before.Ģ4 years on and United fans would be forgiven for repeating the words 'bloody hell' quite often of late as their bitter rivals Manchester City close in on emulating Fergie's feat. It was with these immortal words that Alex Ferguson - soon to be Sir Alex Ferguson - reacted to Manchester United's extraordinary Treble triumph in 1999.
