Premier League Title (2020–21)

Lore & Background

The 2020–21 season was largely played behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Manchester City, who were as low as 11th after matchday 4 but climbed to 2nd by the end of November, went on a 15-match winning streak which saw them 14 points clear of second-place Manchester United after a 4–1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 2 March. They secured the title on 12 May 2021 with three matches to spare, following a home defeat for Manchester United against Leicester.

In Their Own Story

The floodlights hummed over a near-empty Etihad on that cold May evening. Tension hung heavier than the Manchester fog as players tightened their laces. One win was enough to seal it all. As Gabriel Jesus slotted home, the roar from the limited crowd mixed with the deafening silence of the waiting world outside.
