Pep Guardiola was informed of his first English title whilst on the golf course after West Bromwich Albion earned a shock victory against Manchester United.
The celebrations have brought a bad week to a positive end, and it’s important to look at the five players who proved crucial this term.
Kevin De Bruyne
The Belgian playmaker had to deal with an initial switch to a deeper midfield position, but it has brought the very best out of him.
City’s creative hub, with seven goals and 15 assists, he is in the running for the Player of the Year award.
Raheem Sterling
Sterling left Liverpool in the pursuit of major trophies, and he’s now achieved that by playing a pivotal part in City’s triumph.
The England international still has a way to go in terms of improving his finishing, although a return of 17 goals and 11 assists has been phenomenal.
David Silva
The 2017/18 season has been an incredibly challenging one away from the pitch for the veteran midfielder, but despite having to travel back and forth from Spain on a weekly basis, his contributions to City’s title challenge haven’t waned one iota.
Silva is crucial to the team’s attacking identity and has registered 11 assists in the league to this point.
Nicolas Otamendi
The former Valencia defender had yet to impress in England when the current season started.
He was part of a shambolic Manchester City defence in the 2016/17 season, but he’s been crucial in the improvement of that unit in 2018.
