Another day, another Premier League title for Manchester City. This time, Arsenal played the role of hopeful challengers who never stood a chance. City’s victory has become a routine, a predictable outcome in a sport that thrives on unpredictability. The Etihad Stadium celebrated yet another triumph, a scene so familiar that even the fans’ pitch invasion felt like tradition.
City’s dominance is almost mechanical now. Winning the last nine games by comfortable margins, with an average opening goal at 17 minutes, they leave little room for suspense. The 2023 title marks their seventh in the last 12 years, an era that feels more like a dynasty.
It’s not all City’s fault, though. The Premier League’s blind eye to the influx of immense wealth has skewed the competition. City’s financial might, coupled with Pep Guardiola’s genius, has created a team almost untouchable. They win not just because they’re the best but because the system allows them to be.
The league’s failure to maintain competitive balance has turned City’s success into a formality. Fans show up expecting victory, and the thrill of competition fades. Even the pre-match atmosphere is one of celebration rather than tension.
City’s squad depth, bolstered by acquiring top talents from mid-table teams, ensures their supremacy. This cycle of dominance might continue indefinitely. Guardiola remains the best coach, Haaland the top striker, and the club’s financial backing seems endless.
As the confetti settles, one can’t help but wonder if this is the peak. But with every key element still in place, City might just keep on winning, making the Premier League more predictable with each passing season. See you next year for what feels like an inevitable repeat.
