Man City title-winning centurion's team named greatest Premier League side of all-time
Well, GQ has stated how they really feel, in a list of the top 28 Premier League sides of all time. Who comes in at number one, you ask?
None other than Pep Guardiola’s Centurion Blues.
2017/18 was a remarkable season for Manchester City. The Premier League team of the year ended with five City players: Nicolas Otamendi, Kyle Walker, Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva, and Sergio Aguero.
But not only was the brand of football perhaps the most entertaining English football has ever seen, the sheer dominance of the Etihad side in Pep Guardiola’s second season in charge was quantified by records set one after another.
The Centurion’s laundry list of records set at the time looked something like this:
First team to reach 100 points
Most consecutive wins (18)
Best goal difference (+79)
Biggest points margin (19)
Most wins (32)
Most goals (106)
Whether or not you personally believe the 2017/18 iteration of Guardiola’s City is the true ‘GOAT’, you can't argue with the statistics. And those statistics make it simple, The Centurion Blues were truly the best.
It is worth mentioning that two other City teams featured in the top ten.
The 2018/19 City side came in at #4, and Roberto Mancini's 2011/2012 title winning team landed in the #10 spot.
