Record Premier League Points (100)

Lore & Background

The 2023–24 season saw Manchester City secure a historic fourth straight Premier League title, the first team to do so in English men's football. They clinched the title on the final day with a 3–1 home win over West Ham United, finishing with 91 points. Arsenal finished runners-up with 89 points, tying for at least the third-best second-placed team in Premier League history.

In Their Own Story

The rain lashed against the floodlights at the Etihad as the final minutes of the 2017-2018 season ticked away. The scoreboard read 3-1, a scoreline that would eventually secure the mathematically impossible number: one hundred points. The crowd, initially tense, erupted into a roar that seemed to shake the foundations of the stadium. It wasn't just about winning the league; it was about doing so with a level of supremacy that suggested the game itself had evolved around them. In that moment, history wasn't just being watched; it was being lived by thirty thousand believers who knew they were witnessing something unique.
