What is the greatest Premier League triumph of all time?

The 2020/21 campaign turned into a precession for Pep Guardiola s City side as they stormed clear of their stuttering contenders to underline their supremacy in the English game.
Their success was emphatic but arguably the least hotly contested of their five previous Premier League titles.

MANCHESTER: Sergio Aguero signed off for Manchester City in style on Sunday, scoring twice in a 5-0 romp for the Premier League champions against Everton before lifting the trophy for the fifth time in his Etihad career.
City’s record goalscorer, who is leaving the club after next week’s Champions League final, hit a quickfire double after coming off the bench with 25 minutes remaining.

Ancelotti must be given time, as he says himself. “ I am not a magician “, he must also now assess the squad and approach the owner in stark reality and inform him that another rebuild is required.
If Ancelotti stamps his identity on the squad with better quality players especially in midfield, then he must be given time to prove that the ignominious end to last season will not be repeated next season.
