ABU DHABI: Manchester City have added another trophy to its cabinet, crowning itself Premier League champions tonight for the tenth time in its history and the eighth time under the leadership of Abu Dhabi United Development and Investment Group (ADUG) since it acquired ownership of the club in 2008 and subsequently established City Football Group.
Manchester City achieved an unprecedented feat in the Premier League tonight by winning the title four times in a row, from the 2020-2021 season to the 2023-2024 season, a feat no other English club has achieved in the history of the Premier League.
Manchester City raised its trophy count under the City Group umbrella to 23 titles in various local, continental, and world championships, before completing its 16th year next September.
