Manchester City: nearly perfect season 2020/21
There weren’t many sensations in the 2020/21 Premier League season. After the 15th round, Manchester City had the advantage, and the team played brilliantly until the end of the championship. It is worth watching livescore football matches of the Citizens even now, because it is one of the most interesting clubs not only in Europe but in the world. The great season was almost perfect, with only two victories missing: the FA Cup and the Champions League. The Premier League was won without a problem, as was the League Cup.
Traditionally, the Citizens have a successful summer transfer window. They acquired strong athletes, who immediately started playing in the main lineup:
- Ferran Torres from Valencia — for $30 million;
- Nathan Ake from Bournemouth — for $50 million;
- Ruben Dias from Benfica — for $75 million.
Despite the departure of Leroy Sane, David Silva and Nicholas Otamendi, the roster didn’t become worse, and even vice versa, the Citizens began to play much more confidently. Pep Guardiola, as during his coaching career at Barcelona, began to actively invite players of the youth team, who didn’t show themselves yet, but didn’t spoil anything either.
Perhaps in the future it will be possible to watch livescores of the best football matches featuring Cole Palmer, Tommy Doyle and Felix Nmechi. Phil Foden has already proven that Manchester City’s academy is becoming one of the best in the world. In the season 2020/21, he scored 9 goals and gave 5 assists in the Premier League, which made the club’s management happy.
Manchester City’s results in the 2020/21 Premier League
Despite the defeat of Manchester City in the Champions League final, the season can definitely be added to the team’s assets. In the 2020/21 season, the result Premier League was the best for the Citizens. The team scored 83 goals, while missing only 32 goals. Also, we shouldn’t forget about the number of points the players scored — 86. The difference with the second place in 12 goals makes respect for Manchester City, which from the 15th round occupied the first position in the standings and eventually became the champion.
Josep Guardiola did a great job with the team, which is noticeable in the results of the 2020/21 Premier League season. Ilkay Gundogan unexpectedly became the top scorer with his 13 goals. Of the strikers, it is worth noting Raheem Sterling, who scored 10 times. Riyad Marez, Phil Foden and Gabriel Jesus scored 9 goals each. The excellent teamwork of the players is proved by a large number of assists from midfielders, as well as forwards. Additionally, we should mention Ruben Dias. The Portuguese became the leader of the defense in his debut season. Dias even earned the Footballer of the Year award from journalists and won the title of the Player of the Season. He became the first defender to win the trophy since the season 2011/12 when the league awarded Vincent Kompani, who played for Manchester City too.
